The Senator representing the Ogun West senatorial district, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, has hinted that Ogun State will soon join oil-producing states in Nigeria as drilling of crude oil will commence soon at Tongeji Island, located in the Ipokia Local Government Area of the state.

Adeola, while speaking in Ota at the 2nd Edition of the Town Hall Meeting/Mega Empowerment and Thank You Tour of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area,

said modalities are being put in place to commence drilling of crude oil at the island on the fringe of the border between Nigeria and the Republic of Benin.

He attributed the feat to the economic reforms by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration and the investor-friendly Ogun State Government of Governor Dapo Abiodun.

He commended the president for taking the bull by the horns and giving the country’s economy a new direction and praised Abiodun for espousing the infrastructural and socioeconomic development of Ogun State.

He noted that Tinubu has attracted more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Nigeria within two years in office, and Abiodun has transformed Ogun into the best investor destination of choice.

The senator added that when the drilling activities commence in the oil-rich Tongeji Island, Ogun State will witness astronomical economic growth and prosperity while Nigeria’s crude oil production will soar.

Adeola commended the Ogun State governor for completing the agro-cargo airport, which has attracted other mega projects from the private sector, establishing a dry sea port, and delivering other infrastructural projects across the state.

Adeola declared that the governor will be remembered as the best in terms of the delivery of infrastructural and socioeconomic development.

On the empowerment programme, Adeola explained that he decided to decentralise the programme to empower more constituents in the senatorial district.

In another development, the senator declared that the nation’s affairs, particularly the economy, are no longer in the hands of the cabal.

He stated that various reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his assumption of office have rendered members of the cabal who held the country’s economy by the jugular impotent, stressing that Nigeria is now on the path of economic recovery.

Adeola defended the tax reform policy of the incumbent administration in Nigeria, noting that it is to salvage Nigeria’s economy from the members of the cabal.

Adeola added that the tax reform policy supported by the majority of members of the National Assembly has brought holistic change and liberation to the country’s economy.

Why do our politicians enjoy telling lies to the electorates just because they want to be voted for?
