LNG Project Shines, but Ondo Must Fast-Track Blue Economy Jobs

Politics in Ondo’s All Progressives Congress reveals mixed expectations and varying satisfaction among stakeholders. Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa now must turn that divide into a shared legacy. The proposed LNG refinery promises industrial growth. Yet public confidence rests on clear timelines, visible site work, and defined milestones rather than announcements alone. Ondo’s coastal axis in Ilaje and Ese-Odo holds huge blue economy potential. Immediate steps—like organised waterways transport, coastal route mapping, community fishing hubs, and marine logistics—can create jobs with minimal investment. A dedicated Coastal and Waterways Development Agency would anchor these efforts across political cycles. Strong executive-legislative cooperation and genuine inclusion of coastal communities are essential to transform vision into lasting impact.
