The Senator representing Ogun West and All Progressives Congress consensus governorship candidate in Ogun State, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has pledged to sustain ongoing development initiatives in the state while unveiling a broad vision anchored on industrial expansion, infrastructure renewal, healthcare improvement and inclusive economic growth.
Adeola, in a publication titled The Progressive Yayi, said his aspiration was built on consolidating the developmental strides of previous administrations, particularly the current government led by Governor Dapo Abiodun, rather than disrupting existing policies and projects.
He described Ogun’s development trajectory since the creation of the state in 1976 as a product of progressive leadership, crediting former governors for laying foundations in infrastructure, industrialisation, education and socio-economic growth.
According to him, successive administrations, from the era of Chief Olabisi Onabanjo through Chief Olusegun Osoba, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and Senator Ibikunle Amosun, contributed to building Ogun’s profile as a state of enterprise and industry, while Abiodun’s administration had elevated that legacy through strategic investments and governance reforms.
Adeola said the present administration had strengthened Ogun’s position as Nigeria’s industrial powerhouse through policies that attracted investors, increased internally generated revenue and expanded opportunities for residents.
He cited the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone in Igbesa, the Remo Economic Development Cluster and the Remo Free Zone partnership as among major industrial initiatives that had expanded the state’s economic base and employment opportunities.
He also commended ongoing agricultural reforms, including the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, saying they were helping to transform agriculture into a profitable venture while boosting food security and export opportunities.
