“This is my first visit to Ogun State to look at what is going on economically, politically and in security spheres.
Today (Tuesday) with the Governor, we have had a wonderful discussion about what are the opportunities in terms of education, commercial development, agriculture and other areas that I hope we will come back to provide some cooperation and business interest.

Ogun State provides a lot of great promise in poultry, soya beans, corn and all the areas that we can grow the economy. We are interested in bringing back our commercial and agricultural teams to look at what is happening in agriculture and other sectors”, she said.
