My team and I recently paid a courtesy visit to His Excellency Dapo Abiodun, CON the Executive Governor of Ogun State. The purpose of the visit was to express my heartfelt gratitude for his nomination of me to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the position of MD/CEO of Ogun-Osun Rivers Basin Development Authority (O-ORBDA).
During the visit, we discussed strengthening the existing relationship between the Ogun State Government and O-ORBDA, a federal agency responsible for water resources management, supporting infrastructural development, flood control, and enhancing agricultural services. We aim to explore areas of collaboration and align our efforts with the present administration’s policy on food security in Nigeria.
Governor Dapo Abiodun, CON, expressed the interest of the Ogun State Government in collaborating with O-ORBDA to revitalize the long-abandoned hydroelectric power plant, which will improve energy supply in the state. He also emphasized the importance of effective river basin management in flood control. We look forward to a fruitful partnership.
