Ogun State is fast positioning itself as Nigeria’s next industrial hub, and Oke Opeyemi of Fokes Property is urging investors not to be left behind. According to Opeyemi, the state’s large-scale infrastructure projects are creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for investors seeking long-term growth.
Agro-cargo Airport, rail
At the centre of this transformation is the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport in Ilishan-Iperu, a landmark project designed to handle both cargo and passenger traffic.
“This airport is not just infrastructure; it is a gateway for exporters and manufacturers. Ogun is now open to global trade like never before,” says Oke Opeyemi.
Complementing the airport is the state’s cargo rail and train station along the Lagos–Ibadan railway corridor, designed to move bulk goods efficiently by rail. Opeyemi emphasizes that this project reduces logistics costs, improves turnaround times, and positions Ogun as the preferred base for factories and warehouses.
Ogun’s massive road, bridge, and drainage construction programme is also unlocking industrial corridors and improving access to economic hubs. “As road connectivity improves, so does the potential for industrial growth. Ogun is now primed for large-scale investment,” notes Oke Opeyemi of Fokes Property.
To ensure uninterrupted production, the state is investing heavily in power and energy infrastructure, including substations, transformers, and industrial energy partnerships. Mr Opeyemi highlights that reliable power is critical for investors seeking stable, scalable operations.
Industrial parks
Finally, the expansion of industrial parks and economic zones is strategically aligned with transport and energy infrastructure, creating a fully integrated ecosystem for manufacturing and logistics.
“These zones are attracting multinationals and local manufacturers alike. The growth opportunity here is unmatched,” says Opeyemi.
According to Opeyemi, these projects are deliberately interconnected, creating an ecosystem that lowers production costs, improves speed to market, and guarantees scalability. As industries expand, residential, commercial, and service infrastructure will also rise — further enhancing investment potential.
Oke Opeyemi of Fokes Property urges investors: “The best time to invest was yesterday. The next best time is now. Make the big move today. Invest in Ogun State and secure your place in Nigeria’s industrial revolution.”
