The commitment of Ogun state government at supporting the expansion of micro, small, medium and large enterprises has continued to pay off with the commissioning of a 4.5 billion naira kiln and dryer brick factory, known as Amide Clay Industries Limited located at Olapeleke in Ewekoro Local government area of the state.

Speaking at the commissioning of the 20 million standard bricks per annum capacity factory, the State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, represented by the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru noted that the clay factory was a further attestation that the state was richly endowed with solid minerals of all types in commercial quantity.

‘’Specifically, industrial minerals such as clay, limestone, glass-sand among others are in vast amount in the state. This is the time we should give serious attention to the exploration of these resources which has not been duly tapped’’. He affirmed.

In the next few years, I expect Ogun state to be competing with Lagos in economic indices. As it is now, the state will definitely oust Rivers and Delta. The state just started utilizing it's potentials under Amosun ooo, the state is not even an oil producing state yet ooo. Imagine how much development will come in once we have a functioning railway that connects Lagos-Ogun and stable power supply that will make cost of setting up business in the state cheap.

Brehs!

Add that to the real estate boom the state is currently experiencing

I foresee that Tinubu-Fashola kind of scenario playing out in Ogun where the successor outshines the predecessor.

This is good news coming from Ogun State.

The state has had negative news coming from there in the last 2weeks.

Another worthy investment of an Odu'a son on Odu'a soil.

Ogun's Industrial base output will soon outstrip that of the rest of Nigeria put together.

Good development. Obviously bad news for dem dem.

To all those of you who have made it a habit to rant and lament online about the state of the nation, I advise you do something worthwhile with your life. Wait for no government to come solve your problems for you. This is the time to think deep and come up with something of value to your immediate society.

Look around you and you'll see that plenty opportunities abound.

Many of you wailing online waiting for govt jobs that are not there can do something with your life:
1. Laundry business requires very small capital.
2. Waste management service doesn't need hundreds of thousand to start.
3. Private lessons for your hood children
4. House cleaning services
5. Game centre, etc, etc.

Don't be lazy, get something doing!

Ogun state is really maximising the advantage of its proximity to Lagos. Nice one!

Ogun state again

. Op, we are waiting to see what will come out of it in the next few months! I pray the managers of the factory should be square pegs in square holes!!!

Good one. God blessings on the business

Good one, Ogun state

Ogun state has the highest number of Universities and Industries in Nigeria. The criminal activities of the Ijaw Militants that have inflitrated the creeks and Waterways of the Gateway state would not stop her and her Yoruba big sister i:e Lagos from surging ahead

More jobs in the State at the bank of Ogun River

GOOD NEWS.LOCATED RIGHT IN OUR VILLAGE/TOWN.

If Ogun state doesn't invest in Urban development, mass housing and transportation then I know they are not ready to take advantage of the proximity of Lagos.

Nice one, let d private sectors be encouraged and facilitated to ensure national economic growth and development.

You forgot to add, selling akara, Moi moi, plantain, chilled coke & pepsi, fried yam, chin-chin etc in strategic business area which brings steady income, those doing it make a minimum of between 3000 to 4000 Naira daily depending on the location, good tips from you
