As part of its $50M (fifty million United States Dollars) business investment in Nigeria, Otsuka Nigeria Nutraceuticals Company (ONNC), a subsidiary of Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company Japan performed the ground-breaking ceremony for Pocari Sweat’s manufacturing factory in Sagamu, Ogun State Nigeria on 24th November 2023. Otsuka Pharmaceutical company, a publicly quoted business in Japan and one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the world has been in business for 102 years.

Pocari Sweat is an ION Supply Health Drink, a high-quality product of Japanese science with a composition similar to the body fluid. It replenishes ions lost to sweat, rehydrates the body faster and hydrates the body for longer.

But how does Ogun have so many industries? They're definitely doing something right. My problem is that I hope our guys working there would earn well and be treated well by these Asians.

Good one! Some companies are leaving, while more are arriving.

Excellent 👍.....

The only problem Ogun State facing is leadership. If only, just if only we can have a better governor than that clown with an artificial white beard. 🤔

We need more of such investments and less of harsh business environment to enable the foreign investors thrive.

Ogun state is gradually becoming the industrial hub of Nigeria. Almost all conglomerates have their factory there. Thanks to proximity to Lagos.

The only problem the state has is good leadership.

While the Omoluabis are busy selling themselves to the international community for investment in their lands, some fools are saying they are the ones who developed Yoruba land but left theirs undeveloped lol bastards dem.

Ogun is the most industrialized state in Nigeria after Lagos and Abuja, you will still see one factory Job to do in ogun if you have the skills.


Some people are boasting of having indigenous companies if not for the sake of not making too much noise even the number of Indigenous companies in Ogun state beat them.

If our politicians don’t treat us well, then why should Asians treat us well?

Are we not letting our politicians steal money from us instead of employing workers to do everything federal, state and local governments are supposed to do? Government services and utilities like free education, water etc?

Do Asians allow their own politicians to deprive them of these basic services and utilities huh

Not that far fetched.

Lagos is congested and Ogun is close to Lagos and the ports .
While it does not have the infrastructure that Lagos has , it’s just some minutes away

This is nonsense.

We have lost a significant lot economically, don't make such personifications, there's nothing to prove, citizens aren't well paid neither are their buying power good too.
