Take Advantage Of Conducive Business Environment To Invest In Ogun- Abiodun tells Chinese Investors
The governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has called on Chinese investors to take advantage of the conducive business environment, warm people, and availability of needed infrastructure to open up more investments in the state, saying his administration is ready to give them all the needed support.
Abiodun made the call when he received a delegation of Chinese Embassy officials in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
He acknowledged China as a global manufacturing giant, whose partnership has contributed significantly to Nigeria’s economic and infrastructural development.
The governor emphasized that as the industrial hub of Nigeria, Ogun State is home to many Chinese companies involved in the production of a variety of goods for Nigeria and beyond.
He said his administration is ready to partner with Chinese investors in agriculture and transportation development, solid mineral exploration, and other areas that would be of great benefit to both parties.
Abiodun raised concerns in his speech over the activities of Chinese nationals who connive with locals to carry out illegal mining in the state.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Yu Dunhai, cautioned its nationals living in Nigeria against engaging in illegal activities, including mining.
Dunhai stated that his home country and the Embassy encourage Chinese investors to come to Nigeria, saying it does not support any of its nationals engaging in illegal mining, as they are expected to live within the ambit of the laws in their host country.
