The Nigerian Shippers’ Council has commended the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, for enhancing industrial growth across the state and complementing the sustainable transformation and industrialization efforts of President Bola Tinubu.
The Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Council, Barrister Ukeyima Akutah, who spoke on Monday while leading a delegation of the council to the Governor’s office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, the state capital, observed that with the current Ease of Doing Business Index in the State, the laudable industrial revolution being championed by Governor Abiodun in Ogun State is in tandem with the policy statement of the Tinubu-led federal government .
The Executive Secretary, who came on the visit with Directors and other Heads of Units in the Council, presented an Outlined Certificate of Compliance to the Governor on the Inland Dry Port located in the Papalanto area of the state, which was flagged off recently by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola. “We commend you and your team for being consistent with infrastructural development in all sectors of the state’s economy. One of those infrastructures is the Gateway International Agro-cargo Airport, as well as the Inland Dry Port for which we are presenting its Certificate of Compliance to you today,” he said.
Appreciating the Governor for opening the state up for many new productive activities, Akutah added that “obviously, you have demonstrated capacity and quality leadership by all standards, and your state is piloting the ongoing industrial revolution in Nigeria as conceived by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.’
Responding, Governor, Abiodun, while commending the Council’s leadership for the visit, thanked them for granting the Certificate of Compliance for the take-off of the Papalanto Inland Dry Port. He added that it was a significant step in the process of establishing the port. “The Papalanto Inland Dry Port is a strategic port of operation aimed at decongesting the Lagos Ports and boosting industrial activities in our state, which has the highest number of industries in Nigeria,” he said.
The Ogun State Governor further assured the Council that “through the concept of the Multi-modal Transportation System adopted by our administration upon assumption of office, the Inland Dry Port would be an efficient mechanism for the industrial revolution embarked upon by the Federal Government.”
