GBENGA AKINFENWA, who visited the two project sites, reports.
Ogun State occupies an enviable position as one of Nigeria’s investment destinations, majorly due to its proximity to Lagos, adjudged the country’s commercial nerve centre. It is also the gateway to Nigeria, as access route to the expansive markets of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
