He said Ondo has enormous potential for investment in oil and gas, agriculture, tourism, and solid minerals, making it a strategic hub for industrial and economic growth.
Speaking during an investment promotion event, Aiyedatiwa explained that the state’s coastal location, fertile lands, and rich mineral deposits offer opportunities that can drive sustainable development and job creation. According to him, his administration is committed to creating a conducive environment where both local and foreign investors can thrive.
The governor said his government has already embarked on major infrastructure projects, including road networks and energy expansion, to support industrialisation and facilitate access to key markets. “Ondo State is open for business,” Aiyedatiwa stated. “We are ready to partner with credible investors who will help transform our natural resources into economic prosperity for our people.”
He also assured potential investors of the state’s political stability and security, noting that Ondo’s strategic position along the coastline makes it ideal for maritime trade and deep-sea port development. “We are building partnerships that will create a strong and resilient economy driven by innovation and productivity,” he added.
Governor Aiyedatiwa further revealed that the state government is working with international development partners to strengthen ease of doing business and promote industrial clusters that will attract manufacturing and agro-processing industries.
