He said: “We are here in Ogun State today to meet with Mr. Governor to discuss investment opportunities that will lead to setting up our business here in Ogun State.”
Governor Abiodun noted that the State is gradually emerging as Africa’s investment and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) powerhouse due to the various reforms and conducive business environment put in place by his administration.
He said the State’s success story manifests in its unmatched ability to generate sustainable revenue and attract private capital without relying exclusively on federal allocations.

While assuring that the State would be consistent in unlocking opportunities that empower citizens and strengthen investors’ confidence, Governor Abiodun reiterated his administration’s commitment to continually showcasing the State as a hub for technological advancement, with deliberate policies that promote ICT as both an enabler of governance and a magnet for global investors.
“By unveiling the State’s tech hubs, supporting digital entrepreneurs, and encouraging partnerships with international firms, Ogun has aligned itself with global trends in digital competitiveness and innovation”, he said.
