The governor described the actions of the people, including some Obas who sell government land, as unpatriotic.
He warned that his administration would take disciplinary action against any person found selling land in its forest reserves and plantation across the state
Governor Abiodun, who also intimated the monarchs of his administration’s efforts at bringing in more investors to the state, said the memorandum of understanding for the establishment of the Ogun State Dry Port at Kajola would be signed between the state government and a private investor before the end of the year.
He stated that discussions on the use of the Cargo Airport by Beninoise investors had been held with that Benin Republic’s President.
On his administration plan for the health sector, the governor noted that the state government had decided to concession the 250-bed hospital in Abeokuta.
