The industrial revolution drive of the Ogun State Government is yielding results as a team of investors has signified their interest in the partnership for economic growth and development.

          The investors, led by the head of African Industries Group, Mr. Javed Ahmed, were received by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, in company with the Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Mrs. Kikelomo Longe.    

          Ahmed stated that an enabling business-friendly environment and initiative by the government propelled them to invest in Ogun as a gateway State to the sub-Saharan African market.

          The team leader stated that, ‘’the State no doubt has created an industrial-friendly ambiance through its state-wide road construction network and unusual ease of business incentives for intending investors’’.

          Ahmed disclosed that the group had evolved into the largest steel manufacturing company in Nigeria and a producer of renewable energy over the last 40 years, noting that it is committed to providing more production plants and strengthen business relationships and partnerships with the State government.

          Responding, Mrs. Longe said the relationship and partnership that exists between the State government and the Africa Industries Group was a testament of enduring legacy projects and credibility of the Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration to strengthening public-private partnership and engender a mutually beneficial economy for investors and for all and sundry.
