Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has announced plans made by the state government to host a global business summit on May 19, 2023, at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London Kensington.
The governor, who made this announcement in a Newsletter, noted that the event with the theme – ‘Accessing the Pioneer Advantage to Sustainable Investments in Oyo State’, will provide an All Access Card to investment opportunities in Oyo State.
He added that issues on investment opportunities in agribusiness, tourism, solid minerals exploitation and sustainable energy will be prioritised at the event.
“While on the campaign trail, I talked about the need to grow the Oyo State economy. For example, at Akinyele Local Government Area, I spoke about the Ilutuntun Business District, which will be a modern take on the Dugbe Business District. I also spoke about attracting solid minerals and tourism investments to Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa zones.
“To achieve these and progressively increase and double our present Internally Generated Revenue to N7.5 billion monthly without raising taxes, we certainly need to attract local and international investors into Oyo State. This is why we have decided to host a global business summit themed – ‘Accessing the Pioneer Advantage to Sustainable Investments in Oyo State’, he said.
