In the build up to the 2023 elections, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) said the administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun had in the last three years attracted more than 36 investment portfolios worth over $1 billion to the state.
The claim is FALSE, here are the facts
The group added no evidence to back their claim.
Data made available by Statisense, a reliable Data Tech Company with expertise in Analysis, Infographics, Training showed that Ogun attracted only $30.5m investment in 4 years (2019-2022).
Also in a report by the National Bureau of Statistics ‘Nigeria’s Capital Importation’ for the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2022, Ogun State alongside twenty six others were shunned by foreign investors in 2022 as foreign investments fell by 20.47 per cent ($1.37bn) from $6.7bn in 2021 to $5.33bn in 2022.
Conclusion
The claim that Dapo Abiodun has attracted $1billion investment to Ogun is FALSE
