Social Transformation and<br />
Empowerment Programmes<br />
Under PDP and APC<br />
to success is when you engage people. You<br />
understand that you have your limitation and<br />
you cannot do it alone.<br />
Sola Arobieke<br />
What is your opinion about the social<br />
transformation and empowerment<br />
programmes under PDP and APC in Ogun<br />
State?<br />
I think governor Ibikunle Amosun has done<br />
well, Otunba Gbenga Daniel did well, laid the<br />
foundation for a lot of things like the Olokola<br />
free trade zone. It started from Otunba<br />
Gbenga Daniel and so many other things. Eight<br />
years is not enough to transform, Governor<br />
Ibikunle Amosun stepped it up, started the<br />
discussion on industrialisation and<br />
urbanisation but you and I know our village is<br />
our village, we do not really want it urbanised.<br />
We still want to go back to our village and have<br />
all the things that we liked about our village<br />
but I know and I am sure and I pray that this<br />
current governor will definitely take it to the<br />
next level because he prioritises<br />
industrialisation. Whenever I have a discussion<br />
with him, and I mention industry, he is<br />
interested. He engages them and the first step<br />
He had a meeting with the manufacturer's<br />
association, Nigeria's small-scale industrialists,<br />
the feedback was amazing even from when he<br />
was just the gubernatorial candidate. We were<br />
impressed. He had a meeting and they were<br />
happy. They endorsed him, they were<br />
confident and he is now the governor. They<br />
have a lot of hope and they are ready to work<br />
with him and what is important is that he is<br />
ready to work with them and I look forward to<br />
a better Ogun state.<br />
Ogun state where many more things will be<br />
produced. Adire will be standardised and<br />
nobody will be afraid that it will fade off.<br />
We are having an international certification<br />
centre. The discussion started with Governor<br />
Amosun but I know that this current<br />
administration will complete it. A place where<br />
people that are looking to have their products<br />
exported can submit for certification which will<br />
be of international world class standard and<br />
that will be a first in Ogun state.<br />
They have already been allocated a portion of<br />
land, a bank has partnered with them, and<br />
they have started construction and they are<br />
getting their consultant to help small<br />
businesses do this.
