Governor of Nigeria’s Ogun state Dapo Abiodun recently said the biggest cotton and apparel industry in West Africa will be soon established in the state with a capacity to employ up to 40,000.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the industry would be performed soon, and it will be located in the Special Agro-Processing Zone, he said.

The governor said this while meeting visiting Nigerian minister of state for industry, trade and investment John Enoh in the former’s office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

“What we did is co-locate the Special Agro-Processing Zone with our airport, and we are just at the final stage of completing our Ogun State Agro-cargo and passenger airport. We call the entire place an aerotropolis where we have the airport, the Special Agro-Processing Zone, and the new and biggest customs facilities in Nigeria,” he was quoted as saying by domestic media reports.

He said his administration is working on generating power that would offer industries in the state the cheapest source of energy.
