OgunInvest: Promoting New Vista Of Opportunities For Investment

The Ogun State Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, in line with its mandate to sustain the state as an investment destination of choice in Nigeria and beyond, last week, organised an investment webinar in collaboration with international chambers of commerce.

The aim of the seminar was to, among other things, attract new investments by showcasing opportunities in Ogun State to potential investors, promote the State as an investment destination, highlight the benefits and strategic advantages of investing in the state to a global audience and enhance its reputation as a premier investment destination.

The event not only provided a platform for direct interaction between potential investors and key government officials to foster a better understanding of the investment climate in the State, it also served as a unique opportunity for participants to explore key sector areas offering high prospect of investment returns within the state’s economic landscape.

These sectors include: Agriculture, Manufacturing, Energy, Transport, Housing, Information & Communication Technology (ICT) et cetera.

It essentially addressed the concerns of foreign investors by highlighting key sectors, detailing insights into the most promising choices available within Ogun State as well as their potential for high returns on investment. While identifying the challenges investors may likely face, it also offered solutions and support mechanisms available to overcome any obstacle.

For the successful hosting of the event on Friday, July 26, 2024, kudos has been given to Governor Dapo Abiodun, whose initiative gave birth to the Ogun State Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency (OgunInvest), the organizer of the interactive forum.

The objectives of the seminar align with the mandate of the facilitating agency. Primarily, the idea behind OgunInvest, under the able leadership of Miss Sola Arobieke, Special Adviser (SA) to the Governor, is to foster stronger economic ties between Ogun State and international business communities, provide information on government support, inform investors about various policies, incentives, and other support services available to facilitate investment. Since the idea came into being, OgunInvest’s role has tremendously increased
