Gov Pledges To Promote Investments

Governor Ibikunle
Amosun of Ogun State last Thursday, emphasised the commitment of his administration to provide an enabling environment for the growth of investments in the state.
The governor gave the assurance in Abeokuta, during a sensitisation workshop on Ogun State One-Stop Investment Centre (OGSIC).
“We will continue to provide adequate facilities which will guarantee a secured environment to enable our people go about their lawful and legitimate business activities,’’ he said.
Amosun said that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the Bureau of Lands and Survey had been restructured, as part of efforts to boost investment in the state.
“We are about completing the automation of the Bureau of Lands and Survey, which will pave way for the geometric mapping of the entire state.
“This is aimed at making land easily accessible to prospective investors and to guarantee the best location in terms of natural resources for their investment.
“In fact, it will make the Bureau of Lands and Survey a ‘One-Stop’ agency for all issues relating to land,’’ he said.
The governor stressed that the OGSIC was set up to facilitate efficient and effective service delivery, while easing the burden of regulatory compliance on local and foreign investors.
Amosun said that about 80 firms had shown readiness to set up business in the state.
He said that 32 firms were on ground at different levels of operation, while 20 firms had already commenced full operation.
He, therefore, urged other prospective investors to take advantage of the vast investment opportunities in the state.
