Lagos Loses Investors To Ogun by Nobody: 10:23pm On Feb 09, 2016 |
Lagos - Lagos is beginning to lose most its investors to neighbouring state, Ogun following the increase in incentives offered by the state. The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) in its latest economic review (2015) said the production value recorded by the Ogun Industrial Zone accounted for 69 percent of total production for all zones, thus re-confirming Ogun as the industrial hub of the nation. According to findings, investors get rebates on land, good road network and better security of plants, machinery and assets in industrial zones in Ogun State. Certain types of taxes paid by these investors in Lagos are also accepted by Ogun State, thus preventing them from paying multiple levies in two states. Ogun also has a one-stop-shop platform, where investors are given access to understudy available natural and mineral deposits, as well as agricultural potential of the state. Many manufacturers also say there is less harassment from touts in Ogun. Also, there is less traffic gridlock in Ogun and cheaper and more available accommodation for staff in the state. In the last two to three years, more investments have moved to Agbara, Igbesa, Abeokuta, Sango-Otta, Ibafo, Mowe, Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu industrial clusters, all in Ogun State, at the expense of Ikeja and Apapa zones in Lagos which used to be the hubs of investors. In terms of output, Ogun turned out N265.27 billion in output in half year 2015 as against Lagos’ N88.6 billion. Similarly, Ogun produced goods worth N306.58 billion in the whole of 2014, while Lagos churned out output worth N274.41 billion within the period. Some of the new investors which berthed Ogun in 2014 were Shongai Technologies Limited, Ijako in Sango-Otta, Apples and Pears Limited, Ceplas Farms Limited, Greenlife Bliss Healthcare Limited, Sumo Steel Limited, among others. http://www.news24.com.ng/National/News/lagos-loses-investors-to-ogun-20160209 13 Likes 2 Shares |

The boundary line is very obscure. If not for pride between the sons/daughters of the soil of both states, the two states should be merged. People live in Sango and work in Lagos; people live in Mowe/Arepo/Makogi and work in VI. So no shaking the investors are still at "home" 51 Likes |

Rather than call it a loss I prefer to call it a spill-over. This news report mirrors the previous year's (2014) where Lagos also trailed Ogun as the preferred top manufacturers destination (see below excerpts). Lagos definitely still attracts considerable heavy/high-level industial investments (her Sea and Air ports are irresistible magnets). However, due to land-constraints lasgidi is gradually peaking in its capacity to host these sort of investors, making Ogun and Oyo the natural alternatives on account of their proximity to Lag. Though I observed that the Badagry axis is also developing at lightning pace industrially. It's all well and good coz na the same SW.

odogwu125: Lol. That's easy for you to say, considering that Ogun alone is almost as big as the entire SE, so what you blanketedly consider as 'Lagos extension' can cover distances that span between Enugu, Anambra, Imo, and Abia Those clusters are strategically spread out across the state. They include Agbara, Igbesa, Abeokuta, Sango-Otta, Ibafo, Mowe, Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu industrial clusters 52 Likes |

Lagos is already congested, this what gave birth to industrialization of Ogun state. Ibadan in Oyo state is also having her own share of the cake. Do you care to cut down ugly excess fat from any part of the body, click on my profile or check my signature for more info. |
