“We Are Building the Most Attractive Investment Destination in West Africa.”
— Governor Dapo Abiodun, CON
Once dismissed as Lagos’ quiet neighbour, Ogun State has now roared into the limelight, shedding its old skin and emerging as the industrial heartbeat of Nigeria’s southwest.
From sun-drenched farmlands to sky-piercing smokestacks, Ogun has become a forge of transformation — where policy meets potential, and ambition finds infrastructure.
Today, it is not just location that gives Ogun an edge. It is leadership. It is vision. It is resolve.
Factories now line the corridors of Sagamu, Igbesa, Ewekoro, and Agbara like sentinels of a new era. The Agro-Cargo Airport in Iperu isn’t just a runway — it’s a statement. A promise that Ogun’s produce will find global markets, and that exports, not excuses, will define the future.
“We have committed ourselves to opening up every part of Ogun for sustainable development,” Governor Abiodun affirms. “Our goal is to make the state the most attractive destination for investment, not just in Nigeria, but in West Africa.”
His words aren’t hollow. Through OGUNIPA, the Ogun State Investment Promotion Agency, red tape is being slashed and investor confidence rekindled. Ogun is not asking businesses to gamble. It is offering them guarantees.
“We believe the private sector is the engine of growth,” the governor emphasizes. “Our role is to create the right environment — secure, transparent, and efficient — for businesses to thrive.”
From agriculture to innovation, Ogun’s development is not just horizontal — it is vertical, exponential.
With more than 400 industries and counting, the state is building an economy with depth and diversity. Skilled hands, trained minds, and fertile land — Ogun has all three, and is leveraging them with strategic precision.
This is not an accident. It is an awakening.
This is not just growth. It is Ogun’s renaissance.
A state once seen as a stopover is now a destination. Not by luck. But by leadership.
In the words of Governor Abiodun, “We’re not just open for business — we’re built for it.”
