The British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Laure Beaufils, has said that Ogun State alone attracts 75 per cent of the Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria.

The British envoy stated this when she led a delegation from the Department for International Development on a courtesy visit to the governor in his office in Abeokuta, a statement by Adejuwon Soyinka, the Senior Special Assistant (Media) to Amosun, on Friday, said.



The envoy expressed delight at the development and asked how the administration had been able to achieve the feat.

Beaufils expressed the intention of the British government to engage the state and assist it in the agricultural and agro-allied sector.

Responding, the governor thanked the DFID for the offer, but stressed the need for the agency to assist the state in several other areas.

He said his administration would always interface with development partners and agencies that have the wherewithal to support the state.

Commending the agency for its contributions to the development of Nigeria so far, the governor urged it to further assist Nigeria in its bid to diversify its economy.

If Innoson's 1 billion USD and Abia 1.5 Billion USD FDIs from China are finalized, SE will become the largest importer of FDI.

They don come again with their Made in Nigeria Statistics.

The largest importer of capital in Nigeria according to NBS remains Lagos, who imported 96% in Q1 2016 and 95% in Q1 2017, about 500 Million USD was imported in 2017 Q1.

I don't know where they manufacture 75%, because even the Envoy was not quoted saying that. Ogun don't even import up to 2% of FDI in Q1 of 2017, talk more of entire FDI inflow to Nigeria.

32% of the capital was imported by the Service and Telecom sectors while Banking/Oil and Gas imported 25%.

If Innoson's 1 billion USD and Abia 1.5 Billion USD FDIs from China are finalized, SE will become the largest importer of FDI.

Capital imports into Nigeria are usually in million USD.

A good Number of the funding for projects in Lagos and Ogun where attracted by Igbo businessmen who chose to expand , diversify their businesses in that Axis , one of the largest buscuit factories in Ogun is owned by Igbos when the figure is broken down there will be rantings but these folks

jollymizzle:
no mind am, as 'IF' the rest of us will just fold our arms and be looking. 'If' we start listing the up amd coming foreign investments not to talk of local in southwest envy will kill some people.

arinzeejikonye:
Another hogwash of inaccurate fabrication,
So with this horseshit, you expect every Tom dick and Harry to do the hook-line - sinker on this personal unresearched Permutations and Aegean stable of quackery,

The inestimable stench of this concocted falsification is oozing so unprecedented.
In as much as the Lagos - ogun corridor by geostrategim and structure is poised to have more inflow of fdi, but peging it at the unit of ogun alone getting 75% out of the entire 36 States is litotically overstated and an abuse of propaganda.

What do you guys take us for?
Gullible uninformed stock that can be swayed, hypnotized and serenaded with all this figment of bullcrap,

Abeg easy on the lies,

My advice to that state is that they organise it.
Give it a layout on time. Industrial estates, roads, schools, health centres, hospitals, parks, residential areas. Good luck to Ogun state.

Send your wonderful advice to your village

Where are the investments going?


Your village

deomelllo:


1. We are talking about investments by global brands like Procter and Gamble, the wold worlds largest producer of household products investing $300 million, GlaxoSmithKline, Honda and so on, not some biscuit cottage bakery..


2. We even careless where the investments comes from as long as the investments are entering the SW, staying in the SW and developing the SW and not your village.


Where is the sense and wisdom in beating your chest that you are investing in other places while denying your own villages and your own people business opportunities, jobs and development?


Shameless people...

Desyner:

Everybody who doesn't hold your views is ipob and ipobian.
Your mental state isn't the best now so I will leave your tantrum throwing åss to dance naked alone in public.
One more piece, Ogun should build mega residential areas and link same with monorails to vantage points in Lagos. It will be a hit for Lagos working class.
