The centerpiece of my fiscal and economic policy is to optimize economic growth and employment.
I will get Ogun State to work by launching a major public works program, a significant and heavy investment in infrastructure, and value-adding manufacturing and agriculture.
My administration will build an efficient, fast-growing, and well-diversified emerging economy with a real GDP growth averaging 12% annually for the next four years, translating into millions of new jobs during this period
In support of my job creation initiative, I will launch a new State Industrial Policy that will focus on special intervention to reinvigorate specific strategic industries. These include Textiles, Cement, Steel, Oil, Gas, Petrochemicals, light manufacturing, food processing, information technology, and other areas with abundant raw materials and apparent competitive advantage.
These have the potential to generate millions of new jobs in the next four years, create a new set of entrepreneurs, and usher in new industries and new knowledge-based enterprises.
Information Technology, Entertainment, Music, and Tourism are new Key Drivers of the economy with special vehicles and funding mechanisms.
I will promote innovation and creativity through heavy investment in research, development, science, and technology.
