Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun flags off the construction of Lee Group’s Lee Group First Industrial Park, a $1.8 billion project being developed on 450 hectares. Abiodun says the investment is intended to create about 15,000 direct and indirect jobs, and to host 29 manufacturing companies in its first phase.
In his remarks, Abiodun frames the park as part of the state’s broader industrialisation push and as evidence of investor confidence in Ogun’s business environment and economic potential. He also points to the state’s strategic location near Lagos, which he says gives access to major domestic and international markets, and expects benefits beyond the planned factories—spanning logistics, transportation, warehousing, and other support services.
