Ogun Governor Dismisses Deep Sea Port Abandonment Rumours, Highlights New Projects
Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun rejected claims that his administration abandoned the proposed Deep Sea Port in Ogun Waterside. He clarified that work is ongoing and the facility will rank among the deepest ports in Sub-Saharan Africa when completed. Speaking at the commissioning of the Stadium–Luba–Tam Balogun Road in Ijebu-Ode, the governor also refuted suggestions that his government relocated the Dangote Refinery. He explained the refinery decision predated his tenure and urged accountability for earlier administrations. Abiodun announced that oil exploration has begun in Eba, moving Ogun closer to its long-standing promise of becoming an oil-producing state. He added that previous governments failed to harness existing deposits commercially. Among other achievements, the governor cited the federal takeover of Tai Solarin University of Education, the Dry Port development, the Sagamu–Ijebu-Ode Expressway reconstruction, and completion of over 26 roads in Ijebu-Ode with a dozen more underway.
