The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lauded Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration for attracting $25 million in foreign direct investments over the past year. This announcement was made in a statement from the party’s Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, distributed to journalists on Wednesday.
The statement noted, “Ogun State has been recognized by Statisense, an AI data company, as one of the top five states in Nigeria for attracting significant foreign investments in the past year.” Specifically, the report ranked Ogun State as the fifth highest in foreign investments in Nigeria between June 2023 and June 2024.
During this period, Ogun State secured $25 million in investments, surpassing oil-rich Rivers State, which attracted $6 million.
The statement further emphasized that Ogun is now comparable to states like Lagos ($5.95 billion), FCT ($2.59 billion), Abia ($150.09 million), and Akwa Ibom ($33.95 million), all of which attracted significant foreign investments during the same timeframe.
The APC highlighted that this achievement is a testament to the leadership, vision, and business acumen of Governor Dapo Abiodun. “We commend the governor and his team for their excellent work in attracting local and foreign investments, transforming Ogun State into an economic and industrial hub, and establishing it as a prime destination for investors,” the statement read.
The party urged the Abiodun-led administration to continue its efforts in sustaining this progress and not to rest on its laurels.
