Ogun Opens $60m Plastic Recycling Plant Set to Create 1,000 Jobs

Polysmart Packaging Limited commissioned the first phase of its plastic recycling plant in Mowe, Ogun State, on October 29, 2026. The facility can process up to 100,000 tonnes of plastic waste each year and produce food-grade recycled materials. The company says the project will create about 1,000 direct jobs. The investment could support local manufacturing, build technical skills and attract more businesses to the area. It also raises questions about how investment is distributed across Nigeria. What can the South-East learn from Ogun State’s efforts to attract major projects? Should state governments compete more aggressively for investments like this?
