Ogun State Deputy Governor Noimot Salako Oyedele has stated that the Abiodun-led administration’s policies, including sustained investment in infrastructure, improved security, and regulatory reforms, have made Ogun one of the most attractive destinations for investment.
The Deputy Governor made this known in her address at the opening of Alpha Morgan Bank’s Sango Ota branch, noting that when government policies provide stability and clarity, the private sector gains confidence, drives innovation, and creates jobs.
“Our government has created and will continue to create an enabling environment for investors to thrive in the state. Ota and Agbara have been recognised as the industrial backbone of Ogun State.
“This industrial estate helped our state’s early growth and helped shape Ogun’s reputation as an industrial hub of Nigeria,” she said.
While appreciating the financial institution for establishing a presence in Ogun, particularly in Ota, she urged it to also open branches in other parts of the state to tap into the enduring potential of the axis.
The deputy governor noted that the bank’s decision to site its first branch in Ota reflects the confidence it has in the community and its future, commending the bank for sponsoring this year’s Odun Omo Iganmode, saying it has demonstrated a clear commitment to promoting culture and community identity.
Also speaking, the Olota of Ota, Oba Abdulkabir Obalanlege, expressed appreciation to the financial institution for establishing a branch in Ota, describing Sango Ota as one of the busiest commercial areas, not only in Ogun but in Nigeria, and prayed that God continues to strengthen the bank so it can fulfil its obligations to its customers.
Earlier in his remarks, the Group Managing Director of Alpha Morgan Bank, Mr Ade Buraimo, said the newly licensed bank was becoming one to reckon with, noting that it already has 14 branches across Nigeria. He revealed that efforts are underway to open branches in Osogbo and Abeokuta, while pledging the bank’s commitment to improving and strengthening financial institutions for a better economy.
