Ogun state will soon become an oil-producing state according to the Executive Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun.
Prince Abiodun said this while presenting the 2024 Appropriation Bill called the Budget of Sustained Growth and Development at the Ogun State House of Assembly.
He mentioned that because Ogun State was going to start producing oil, his government had set up the Ministry of Mineral Resources. This ministry’s job is to manage and control all the natural resources in the state.
Additionally, he explained that they also created the Ministry of Energy. This move was to make the most of a change in the constitution that lets state governments get involved in the energy sector.
