Determined to sustain the tempo and
interest already shown by investors to locate their industrial concerns and woo
others, the Ogun State Government has reiterated that it will continue to give
necessary incentives and encouragement to genuine local and foreign investors
wishing to operate in the State.
The State Governor, Senator Ibikunle
Amosun made this position of government known at the ground-breaking ceremony
of a multi-billion naira new manufacturing plant of Procter and Gamble located
at Agbara in Ado/Odo Ota area of the State.
Governor Amosun who was represented by the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru assured that
his administration would continue to play its expected role as a catalyst for
industrial development through the provision and improvement of infrastructural
facilities.
He listed some of the various
incentives already put in place to include a new land policy which gives
generous discounts as high as 80% to investors in need of land, road
rehabilitation, electricity supply and provision of adequate security.
The Governor charged the investors
to reciprocate this gesture through prompt payment of their levies, taxes and
also support their immediate communities through provision of social amenities
and other developmental projects.
“As an administration, we have
absolute confidence in the ability of the private sector to give impetus to the socioeconomic development of our State. Therefore, our economic policy and
development agenda in the last one year have been focused on private sector-led
growth”, Amosun said.
In his welcome address, the Managing
Director, Procter and Gamble Nigeria, Mr. Manoj Kumar disclosed that the new
plant was a demonstration of the company’s willingness to partner with the
transformation agenda aimed at further industrializing Nigeria and make it one
of the 20 leading economies by year 2020.
