ELECTRIC BIKES will be introduced next week as part of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s energy transition plan in Ogun State.

This launch marks the second phase of the state’s e-mobility programme, following the successful introduction of CNG-powered buses last year.

Governor Abiodun shared details of this initiative during a meeting with the Minister of Transportation, Senator Sa’idu Ahmed Alkali, in Abuja.

He highlighted the significance of the electric bikes in promoting sustainable transportation solutions in the state.

The governor noted that gas and electricity offer cheaper alternatives to petrol, potentially reducing transport costs across the state.

The official launch will take place on Wednesday, July 31, at the Arcade Ground, State Secretariat, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

This event will emphasize Ogun State’s commitment to environmental sustainability and innovative public-private partnerships under the “Building Our Future Together” agenda.

Strengthening Security Infrastructure

Ogun State has also strengthened its security infrastructure, according to Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Dapo Okuboyejo.

Speaking at an investment webinar hosted by the South Africa-Nigeria Business Chamber, Okuboyejo emphasized the government’s investment in modern crime-fighting tools.

He assured investors of a secure environment for their operations.

Okuboyejo highlighted Ogun State’s vast landmass, with 65% suitable for agriculture.

He invited commercial farmers to capitalize on the state’s favorable farming conditions.

He also pointed out investment opportunities in infrastructure, education, real estate, transportation, and ICT.

The state’s proximity to Lagos makes it an attractive destination for investors.

He said in the solid minerals sector, Ogun State leads the nation, with resources like limestone, bitumen, sulphate, granite, and clay.

The commissioner encouraged partnerships for developing these mineral opportunities, noting the state’s collaboration with the federal government.

He disclosed that Ogun State has also established business clusters and an aerotropolis to support diverse industries.

These zones offer greenhouse facilities, residential areas, and hospitality businesses, creating an investor-friendly environment.

The state is developing Free Trade Zones at Olokola and Ogun Waterside, along with a Dry Port at Kajola, Abeokuta.

To enhance the ease of doing business, Ogun State has set up an investment facilitation agency.

This agency provides comprehensive support, from guiding investors through regulatory requirements to offering detailed information on opportunities.

Investors benefit from tax waivers, rebates, and other incentives.

Multinational Transportation Plan

Commissioner for Transportation, Engr. Gbenga Dairo, detailed the state’s multimodal transportation plan, which includes road, rail, and sea transport.

He encouraged investments in rail infrastructure, airport management, and technology-based enforcement tools.

The tourism sector also offers lucrative opportunities for investors.

Commissioner for Industry, Trade, and Investment, Mr. Adebola Sofela, discussed efforts in land administration and security investments to foster a conducive business environment.

He highlighted the promotion of ‘adire’ fabric to international markets and called for modern technology in its production to enhance its global appeal.
