Amosun Seeks Special Status For Ogun State by Hardeysolution(m): 4:13pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, yesterday called on the federal government to accord a special status to his state, explaining that about 423 companies with a minimum of over N2 billion investment capital are caurrently operating from the state. Out of these companies, according to the governor, over 100 have opened shops since the beginning of his administration adding that 14 new ones are in the process of inauguration. Amosun disclosed during the opening of eighth National Council on Industry, Trade and Investment going on in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The governor said Ogun State was next to Lagos State in terms of non-oil revenue to the federal government, adding that more companies have their operational base in the state. The success, according to Amosun, was not unconnected with the realisation of partnering the organised private sectors at boosting the potential of the state. He said: “To this end, our administration has continued to maintain and expand on existing infrastructures while new ones are being constructed. The results of these infrastructural developments are seen in the increase in investment inflow into Ogun State. “We have continued to reap the benefits of our prudent financial management and re-engineered our internally generated revenue (IGR) drive. We have increased our IGR from the modest sum of N700 million monthly which we inherited at the beginning of our administration in 2011, to over N6billion per month in 2014, though, currently reduced to an average of N4.8 billion monthly due to the current economic recession in the country. “As of now, our state is second only to Lagos State in the ratio of the monthly IGR to the monthly FAAC allocation. This has allowed us to sustain payment of workers’ salaries, while also continuing with other development projects in all other sectors of our economy. “According to the 2014 Ease of Doing Business Subnational rankings, our state recorded the most improvement of all the 36 states in Nigeria. This was compared to the states, very poor ranking of 34th at the inception of our administration in 2011. “We also introduced the concept of a “One Stop Shop” to assist investors in their interactions with government particularly during their early stage. I am happy to report that about 423 major companies/industries are presently operating in the state, while over 100 new significant companies have opened shop since the advent of our administration. “Even in our current harsh economic climate, another 14 are currently in the process of commissioning their industries/ factories. Indeed, we hope that President Muhammadu Buhari will help to inaugurate some of these industries before the end of the year. Ogun State is now officially the industrial hub of the nation.” 1 Like |

OP, I have read this news over and over but have not found anywhere he mentioned special status. More so, if he asked, I see nothing wrong in it, it is our interests that matters and not what anyone thinks, if the federal legislators deem it fit or otherwise, so be it. 1 Like |

Some people will not read story before jumping to conclusion. I see nothing wrong if he request for special status. The most industrialised state needs all form of infrastructure to keep the companies operation running smooth such as road, power, etc. This in turn will help Nigeria as a whole just that our politicians are too greedy, most times fight for their interest. 3 Likes |

I noticed jealous tribal bigots everywhere on this thread. Ogun state has maintained her position as the most industrialized state in Nigeria for years now. Industrialization does not mean having the largest and dirtiest market in west Africa. A particular nonentity even compared Anambra and Abia to Ogun state, really? 5 Likes |

Special status for ritual dens headquarter in Nigeria or what Gov. Amosun: Ogun state revenue drops 74% The treasury of the Ogun state government has gone leaner these days, as the gloomy Nigerian economy takes its toll. Governor Ibikunle Amosun at an interactive session with various groups and citizens of the state on Sunday dropped the shocking news that the state revenue has fallen by 74 per cent. At its zenith, Ogun state was making N6billion monthly from internally generated revenue up till 2014. But on Sunday, Governor Amosun did not give the comparative revenue figures as of now, while enumerating the various bills his government pays to run its schools. “Things are not like when we came in. What we are collecting now is 74 per cent less than what we were collecting in 2011 when we came into office. ” Imagine paying almost N800M to N900M monthly to our schools and it is interesting to know that we have the largest number of institutions in the country and most of them are state owned. “We pay Olabisi Onabanjo University,OOU N85.5M every month and it was paid for four years. We have also paid backlog of 18-19 months. If you multiply this by 12 and times by 48, it means that in four years,we have paid over N40billion to them. You will agree with me that it is not easy, but we will not relent. “TASUED with total number of students of almost 20,000 collects between N50M to N60M monthly,MAPOLY, Abeokuta of about 25,000 students receives N40M,OOUTH,Sagamu,N190M, DS Adegbenro,Itori,about N8M. “The primary school teachers are not there,they take away nothing less than N2.1billion monthly and if we added the secondary staff to it,it gives you something around N3.2billion. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2016/05/gov-amosun-ogun-state-revenue-drops-74/ 4 Likes
