The Ogun State Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Kikelomo Longe, has said the government would upgrade its industrial service centre at Onijanganjangan, Abeokuta, in the 2021 fiscal year, to promote the use of indigenous technology and boost the industrialisation of the state.
According to a statement on Friday, Longe disclosed this while defending her ministry’s budget proposal of N1.2bn before the State House of Assembly Committee on Finance and Appropriation.
She said the centre, which was established during the Olabisi Onabanjo-led administration, required urgent improvement to meet latest industrial technological advancements, which would enable the fabrication of machines and tools needed by various industries in the state.
