A five million dollar British battery recycling company is to be set up in Ogun State.
The British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Mr. Richard Montgomery, disclosed this on Wednesday when he led some officials of the Commission on a courtesy call on the State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Mr. Montgomery said that when operational, it would be the best in Africa.
Responding, Governor Abiodun noted that the State has a large expanse of land suitable for the cultivation of food and cash crops, just as large deposits of limestone and other minerals are found in the State.
He said the state is home to numerous manufacturing companies and has the biggest industrial park as a result of the gas pipelines from the Niger Delta that crisscross the length and breadth of the State.
Abiodun noted that the deliberate provision of road infrastructure and other amenities was to attract more investments to meaningfully impact the lives of the people.
The governor stated that the state is doing well in the area of agriculture as it contributes to food security in the country, while it has also repositioned the education and health sectors of the State.
