We have taken another significant step towards unlocking the economic potential of Ogun State with the signing of Memoranda of Understanding with DP World MEA FZE for the development of the Gateway Deep Sea Port and the Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone.
The projects, witnessed by our President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in Paris, France, are expected to attract more than $7 billion in initial investment and create over 50,000 direct jobs, while opening new opportunities in manufacturing, logistics, maritime services, exports and other sectors.
The Gateway Deep Sea Port in Ogun Waterside will be integrated with a proposed 10,000-hectare Blue Marine Special Economic Zone and connected to other strategic infrastructure, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and our Gateway International Airport.
For us, this is about much more than building a port. We are creating an integrated economic corridor capable of connecting Ogun State’s productive capacity to markets across Africa and the rest of the world.
We appreciate President Tinubu for the leadership and federal support that have helped move this long-standing vision closer to reality. We equally commend the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the Nigerian Ports Authority and all our partners for their commitment.
Under our Building Our Future Together agenda, we remain committed to attracting investments, creating jobs and positioning Ogun State as a leading industrial, logistics and investment destination.

Final post on Peter Obi and I'll shift my attention to other matters temporarily, assuming Obidients won't provoke me again...
When you see Peter Obi talking about taxation, especially during the tax reform bills conversation last year and the year before, with the way he was lambasting President Tinubu and accusing him of taxing poverty, you'll think he gave tax exemption to ndi Anambra for the eight years he was our governor.
On the contrary, Mr. Peter Obi imposed high levies and taxes on struggling traders in such an arbitrary way to the point that market women had to protest to the government house in Agu Awka.
In this video, you can see a trader complaining that Obi was taxing them N9,600 per individual. To contextualise this, in 2011 Nigeria's minimum wage was increased to N18,000. So, Obi was trying to collect more than 50% of the minimum wage as tax from market women including petty traders.
This is the same Peter Obi that is fond of telling you he lifted people out of poverty.
In the video you can see Obi's SSG, Chief Oseloka Obaze trying to address the women but they insisted on hearing directly from Obi.
Despite this high levies, most of the IGR eventually found their way into private pockets.
Well, I'm glad a lot of people now know some truths about Obi's governance in Anambra State.
Let me pause here for now...
H.E. Peter Obi, you said you owed no one. You lied. You vowed to quit your 2027 campaign if even one person was shown. Water Corporation staff protested. Records are clear; survivors still testify. Those debts are yet to be fully cleared even today.
The records are clear!
ANNUAL RETURNS IS NOT TAX, KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
Don’t confuse your CAC Annual Returns obligation with tax payment.
Know what Annual Returns means, why it matters, and who is required to file.
The Progressive Governors should go back to their states and do whatever works for them. Wike is not part of APC.
Thank you Uncle @AyoOyalowo for this clarification.
I said I will support the President from day one. I never told Mr. President I will join APC. Go and ask him. If I want to join APC, it's not people like Hope who will tell me to join APC. In fact, he is lucky I’m not in APC because I wouldn’t take that kind of rubbish he is doing in APC.

The Dangote Refinery share, which is ₦525 per share now, will reach ₦10,000 per share. Your ₦5 million investment now will become over ₦50 million.
- Aliko Dangote
“Those small investors who want to buy with ₦50,000 or ₦100,000 will get approval first, then the rest will share.
“The share now is ₦525. This share will one day become ₦10,000. So if you buy and it becomes ₦10,000, and you put in ₦5 million, it becomes ₦50 million plus. You have become rich, and there is no need to sell. You don’t have to fear devaluation. You can choose dividend in naira or in dollars.”
- Aliko Dangote, in an interview with Abis Fulani
I know you're a very lazy so-called OAP but I'm hoping you'll make sense of this data to know Tinubu actually reduced the poverty rate before he left in 2007 despite the massive migration from other states to Lagos putting undue pressure on the state's economy and its infrastructure.
I am being informed that the lady is safe, and has been sighted. She is with fellow Nigerians at the moment, but I cannot disclose details until I have heard from her directly. All will be well.
In 2014, Amaechi defined who a brother is. Other speakers didn't want to call his name. Well, I have the capacity to call his name all the time. Amaechi defined a brother as one who identifies with us in terms of problems. He said brotherhood is not blood relation. So, we are going to copy that definition for the 2027 presidential election.
Amaechi said Jonathan never cared for us and that Buhari was our brother because he would identify with us. If that's the case, he now wants to run for Vice President. When he was minister, what did he do for us? Rather, he took the transportation university to Daura in Katsina State, thinking that it would make him president. Did they make him president?
Now, Asiwaju has identified with us. Our sons are now Vice Chancellors of the University of Port Harcourt and the newly established University of Environment, which Amaechi denied us. That means Tinubu is our brother, and we have adopted him as our brother. So, we are going to follow Amaechi's definition and vote President Tinubu over him and the ADC.

She sent a fresh batch of the orange juice to the lab for testing and the results revealed that the oranges were not fit for human consumption because of the dangerous chemicals the farmers had used to ripen and preserve them" — Former vice-president Yemi Osinbajo
