The Director General, National Productivity Center (NPC) and the Otunba Gbeluniyi of llaro, Yewa land, Dr Kashim Akor, has called on the people of Ogun State to re-elect Governor Dapo Abiodun in Saturday’s governorship election.

Chief Akor made the call on Thursday, saying that Ogun State had witnessed all-round development in the last four years of Abiodun’s first term in office on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him, human capital development, infrastructural breakthroughs, among many other reforms in the state, have justified the need to return Abiodun for a second term.

“The commissioning of the new Ogun Agro and Cargo international Airport in Ikenne, the first of its kind in Nigeria after many decades, has placed the state above many others and, by extension, will create more job opportunities, attract both local and international bodies to invest more in the state,” he said

“With the proximity of Ogun State to Lagos state, no doubt, the influx of import/export-based materials, revenue profile of the state will be improved beyond the concept of establishing the new airport,” he noted.

Akor lauded the Governor for opening up the nooks and crannies of the state through massive construction and reconstruction of roads, saying the movement of farms produce meant for local consumption and exportation would be simplified.

“Governor Abiodun has relived the image of the country before the international communities with the establishment of a dedicated agro and cargo international airport that will promote tripartite and multilateral discussions and transactions with the developing and developed countries, thereby exposing Ogun State to the comity of states in Nigeria and the country at large,” the NPC DG added.

He urged the people to ensure Abiodun’s re-election, so as to continue the good works he started in the last four years of his administration.
