NNPP hails Aiyedatiwa over Dangote’s Ondo Free Trade Zone plan

The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Ondo State has lauded Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa's administration, specifically commending the planned development of the Olokola Free Trade Zone by the Dangote Group. The party views this initiative as a substantial economic catalyst for the state and a potential enduring achievement for the current leadership.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, recently reaffirmed plans to establish a large-scale industrial and free trade zone at Olokola, located in the Ilaje Local Government Area. Dangote highlighted the zone's potential to transform Ondo State into a powerful investment hub, attract manufacturers, and alleviate infrastructure challenges for businesses.

Many people have been wondering why oppositions have been silent in Ondo State. We opposition parties are not silent because we didn’t exist or someone silenced us. We opposition parties are silent because for some one and a half years now, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has shocked us with his unprecedented achievements in the state.

The state Chairman of the NNPP, Peter Olagookun, stated that the project, upon realization, would serve as a lasting legacy for Governor Aiyedatiwa. Olagookun further praised the governor's developmental efforts, including employment initiatives, infrastructure projects like road and flyover constructions in Akure, and recruitment drives in SUBEB, TESCOM, and community health programs. He suggested that these achievements have silenced opposition criticism and contributed to Dangote's renewed interest in investing in the state, citing Aiyedatiwa's "good leadership" as the driving factor.

The President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, said that he brought this project back to our State because of the good leadership of the state governor. If someone is doing well, let’s commend him that he is doing well so that he can do more.
