Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun in his office in Abeokuta where he

and crannies of the State adding that Central African Republic is ready to
partner with Ogun State Government especially in the areas of Solid Minerals

Amosun in his speech assured the delegation that his government will do all
within its power to establish a cordial relationship with Central African
Republic saying Ogun government is ever interested in genuine partnership.
“The
Ogun State government is interested in genuine partnership and for me, I will

enjoined them to create conducive environment for business to thrive saying
this in no time will bring about the desired socio-economic development while

ourselves as our brother’s keeper and work together to bring about sustainable
development in the continent as no single tree can make a forest.
