Ogun State Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako Oyedele, has said sustained investment in infrastructure and improved security architecture under the Prince Dapo Abiodun administration are positioning Ogun as a major investment hub in Nigeria.
Salako Oyedele made the assertion at the opening of Alpha Morgan Bank’s Sango Ota branch, where she noted that consistent government policies and regulatory reforms had created a stable environment that encourages private sector confidence, innovation and job creation across the state.
According to her, the state government remains committed to creating an enabling environment for investors to thrive, stressing that Ota and Agbara have long been recognised as the industrial backbone of Ogun State.
“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. These industrial estates supported the early growth of our state and helped shape Ogun’s reputation as Nigeria’s industrial hub,” she said.
The deputy governor commended Alpha Morgan Bank for establishing its branch in Ota, describing the decision as a reflection of the bank’s confidence in the community and its future. She also urged the financial institution to expand its operations to other parts of the state to fully tap into Ogun’s growing economic potential.
She further praised the bank for sponsoring this year’s Odun Omo Iganmode festival, noting that the gesture demonstrated a strong commitment to cultural promotion and community identity.
In his remarks, the Olota of Ota, HRM Oba Abdulkabir Obalanlege, expressed appreciation to the bank for choosing Ota, describing Sango Ota as one of the busiest commercial centres in Ogun State and Nigeria at large. He offered prayers for the growth of the financial institution and its ability to meet the needs of its customers.
Earlier, the Group Managing Director of Alpha Morgan Bank, Mr Ade Buraimo, said the newly licensed bank was rapidly becoming a force in Nigeria’s financial sector, disclosing that it currently operates 14 branches nationwide.
He added that plans were underway to open additional branches in Osogbo and Abeokuta, while pledging the bank’s commitment to strengthening financial services and supporting economic growth across the country.
