Osun Best Investment Destination For Chinese – Aregbesola - Politics

Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has reiterated his administration’s commitment to continuously improve the economy of the state by focusing on agriculture for self sufficiency of the state.

The Governor also stated that his government would not relent in its effort to harness all resources the state is endowed with for an enhanced economy.

He said these are the reasons why Osun remains the best destination for investors who might also coming in from China as a result of the recent trade investment agreement between Nigeria and China.
Aregbesola gave the assurance while addressing a gathering of business investors at a dinner party organised by the state Government in honour of Chinese investors at the Government House in Osogbo.

He said the present government is keenly interested in ensuring appropriate exploration and exploitation of all the available resources to achieve greater economic drive.

The governor, who described agriculture as the only sustainable sector and panacea to present economic challenges, said no government has the potential of succeeding in the face of the present situation without greater investment in agriculture.

He hinted that his government, having been challenged by the effects of the present economic realities, had resolved to revamp the sector and make it the state’s economic mainstay.

Governor Aregbesola emphasised that the economic relationship so far between the State and the Chinese investors is a “win-win prospect”, saying the state had opened-up opportunities for robust business investment in all sectors of the economy.

He said as part of his government’s determination to boost the revenue base of the state, it has provided an enabling business environment for meaningful investment in agriculture.

The Governor stressed that the state under his watch would not relent in its strive to transform, reposition and develop the state for the betterment of all.

Earlier, the leader of the Chinese delegation and Managing Director, Golden Monkey Group, Wang Bao Gen, lauded the state government for investing hugely in agriculture.
