“When we assumed office on May 29, 2019, we were committed to a vision to ensure that we create an enabling environment for investments and investors to thrive in Ogun State.
“We believe that it is very fundamental to the economic development of our state and the individual prosperity of our people.
“Today, we have a budget that has become law, that is more than twice our budget when we assumed office.
“Year after year, we have successfully implemented our budget to the tune of a minimum of 70 per cent,” he said.
