The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola will, later this week, lead the foundation-laying ceremony for the Inland Dry Port in Ogun State.
The port, located at the Soderu Village, Itori, along the Papalanto-Ewekoro axis of the state, is part of ongoing efforts to boost economic growth and industrialization in the Gateway State.
In a statement signed by the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, the initiative aligns with the administration of the state government commitment to fostering economic development and advancing industrialization throughout Ogun State.
The event scheduled for Friday will be attended by transport experts, regulators, and policymakers, including representatives from the Nigerian Shippers Council, Nigerian Railway Corporation, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Ogun State Shippers Association, freight forwarders, and other key stakeholders.
