The leadership of Abeokuta Chamber of Commerce led by Iyalode Alaba Lawson has sought for partnership with Agege Local Government Council.
This was made known during the courtesy visit to the Chairman of the council, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi on Wednesday 7 April, 2021.
Iyalode Alaba Lawson pointed that Agege is one of the leading councils in Lagos State with high prospect in commerce and industry, hence the need for partnership with Abeokuta Chamber of Commerce.
In response, Agege Local Government council chief thanked the leadership of Abeokuta Chamber of Commerce for recognizing Agege’s huge potential in terms of commerce and industry.
Egunjobi noted that as the Chief Executive Officer of Agege Local Government, he sees the courtesy visit as a platform to sell Agege to the world in terms of businesses and opportunities abound in Agege.
The council chief stated categorically the huge potentials abound in Agege considering the proximity and business prospects in the council area that attracts value to commerce and industry.
“It is not every time, politicians have the opportunity to relate with the business community.
“Agege is a hugely populated area with a high population of Nigerians of all tribes and our West African neighbours: Malians, Ghanaians, Togolese, Senegalese and Nigeriens.
“So, it is a very big market for goods and services of several kinds.
“Lagos we all know is the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria and in terms of proximity to the market for goods from Abeokuta, Agege ranks high.
“The infrastructure available in the local government is also one of the best in the country.
“Just last month, the Pencinema Bridge was commissioned by the Lagos State government. The council has the best Legislative Building in West Africa built by my administration.
“On my watch, eleven boreholes were constructed across all the wards with generators to power them. Several roads were equally constructed or rehabilitated. A shopping mall is presently in the pipeline.
“So, there is no gainsaying that Agege ticked all the boxes for commercial activities.
We equally have industries namely, Guinness, etc.”
In conclusion, Agege Local Government council chief assured the guests that there is no doubt that doing business with Agege is handsomely rewarding.
