Makinde Asserts That Ogbomoso Zone Would Become An Industrial Powerhouse.

Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, said yesterday that his government will develop an agro-industrial cluster in the five local councils of the Ogbomoso zone. Makinde said that his government will investigate the possibilities of each of the councils during separate meetings with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Muslim clerics in Ikoyi-Ile, Oriire Local Council of the state.

The governor said that his government was committed to industrializing the state in order to provide young people work possibilities. As part of his campaign tour of the council, he informed the CAN leaders at First Baptist Church, Ikoyi-Ile, that the state is making progress toward economic emancipation. He continued by saying that by integrating all the zones, the current government has created the conditions for economic growth.

The governor promised that if he is re-elected as governor, people of the state will get more and expressed confidence that infrastructure projects completed by his administration would last due of the high quality of work.

At the Ikoyi-Ile Central Mosque, Makinde also met with the community’s leadership. There, he urged the Muslim Ummah to support his administration, vote for him to be re-elected, and work together to lift the state out of poverty.

The governor promised to respond to their requests as soon as possible. The governor’s campaign train traveled to Surulere and Ogo-Oluwa local councils, where Makinde made campaign promises to prioritize traditional rulers’ well-being and to reopen the Oko Fruit Processing Factory in order to provide more employment for the thronging youngsters of the axis.
