Governor Ibikunle Amosun

The President has been announced to visit Ogun State soon in commemoration of its 40 years anniversary where he is expected to commission some projects.
In anticipation of its 40th anniversary, the Ogun State government says 40 legacy projects which cut across the three senatorial districts of the state will be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari

The Secretary to the State Government, Mr Taiwo Adeoluwa made this known on Friday at a press briefing in Abeokuta, the state capital where programme for the celebration was unveiled by the government.
He said: “Our desire to celebrate the creation of the state is not for birthday. We want to speak less on the birthday, forty is a milestone, but for us in Ogun state the issue goes beyond 40 years. 

“We have a huge harvest of completed projects which have been completed for over a year, but we don’t like show off, but to do our thing the way we should be.
“But some elders called our attention to the state creation date which is February 3rd and said we should make it a huge celebration. We have over 100 projects across the state and about 60 have been fully completed. We have selected 40 legacy projects to be commissioned by the President to commemorate the anniversary. 

“Buhari has most kindly agreed to visit and commission some of the projects. He will be in the state between Monday, 1 & Tuesday 2 February, 2016 to commission some of the projects. Though we are working to see if he can commission all, they are scattered all over the state. All other projects will be commissioned by our past Governors and administrators.”
Among the projects expected to be commissioned in the state are the 110km Ilaro/Ijoun/Tombolo road which cuts across four Local Government Areas of Ogun West Senatorial Districts, the Ilo Awela road in Ota area, model schools, 750 hectares New Makun Estate in Sagamu, 50 hectares cashew plantation at Imeko Afon and 50 hectares palm plantation at Ipokia among others.
