According to the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS), Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration has attracted more than 36 investment portfolios totaling more than $1 billion to the state over the past three years after claiming to win the 2023 election.
According to the student body, Abiodun had excelled in every area of the economy, turning around the fortunes of the Gateway State permanently.
This was said in a statement that was co-signed by the National President of NAOSS, Oluwagbemileke Ogunrombi, and the Chairman of NANS in Ogun, Damilola Simeon.
While congratulating Abiodun on receiving the Distinguished Award for Industrial Revolution from President Muhammadu Buhari, the students noted that the governor’s outstanding performance and investments in agriculture, road infrastructure, ICT, urban renewal, the construction of an agro-allied airport, and security of life and property meant that the award did not come as a surprise.
They argued that the President did well in praising Abiodun’s initiatives to “enhance rapid industrialization and promote conducive environment” for successful business and investment.
“The 36 investment portfolios have provided more than 40,000 jobs either directly or indirectly for the residents of the State.
“Governor Abiodun’s administration through its various efforts has provided the enabling environment which has facilitated private investments and helped the private sector grow and generate wealth for Ogun people.
“We know that there is still more to come as we look forward to another four years of prosperous Ogun State when Governor Abiodun wins the 2023 election,” they said.
