“Ogun State has always been a place of industry and commerce. We understand what it takes to build. We know that real development comes through consistent effort, sound planning, and the courage to make hard decisions.

“Your administration’s focus on economic reform, infrastructure, and security aligns with what our state represents. Under the leadership of His Excellency Governor Dapo Abiodun, CON, we remain committed to supporting your Renewed Hope Agenda and translating federal policies into opportunities for our people.l.

He noted that under the leadership of Dapo Abiodun, the state government has deliberately aligned its development priorities with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, ensuring that federal policies translate into practical opportunities for residents.

Isiaka described the relationship between the Federal Government and Ogun State as one founded on shared conviction and mutual respect, stressing that national progress must ultimately reflect in improved livelihoods at the state and community levels.

He added that the President’s visit opens new avenues for collaboration, investment, and development, expressing optimism that discussions held during the visit would yield concrete benefits for communities across the state.

The federal lawmaker said he was joining Governor Abiodun and other stakeholders in welcoming the President, while wishing him a productive and impactful stay in Ogun State.
