ABEOKUTA—President Goodluck Jonathan has recognized the high level of industrialisation being experienced in  Ogun State which he said resulted from the economic plan of the Senator Ibikunle Amosun-led administration.

The President further expressed the readiness of the Federal Government to partner with the state government in its rebuilding mission.

Speaking at the commissioning of the Procter and Gamble multi million dollar plant in Agbara, Ogun State, Jonathan, who was represented by Vice President Namadi Sambo, affirmed that the Amosun-led administration is creating a conducive environment for business to thrive in the state.

The President revealed that the contract for the construction of a standard guage fast train that will connect Lagos through Ogun State to Ibadan has been awarded, adding that, “Olorunsogo Power Plant in Ogun has been successfully completed and privatised.”

In his remarks, Amosun disclosed that the commissioning was the 43rd he would be performing in less than three years of his administration, stating that the newly commissioned multi million dollar investment would create 2000 direct and indirect job opportunities for the people of the state.
