The Member-elect for Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency in Ondo State, Prince Jimi Odimayo has gave accolade to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON over the Federal Government approval of establishment of a Deep Sea Port in the State.
The Federal Executive Council, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, gave the approval for the operating licence for the Ondo Sea Port at the Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting held at the State House in Abuja, this week.
Odimayo hailed the unrelenting efforts of Governor Akeredolu towards seeking approval for the establishment of the Ondo Deep Sea Port after earlier attempts failed, first at Olokola Free Trade Zone, since 2004.
Akeredolu had represented the proposal for the establishment of the Sea Port to the Federal Government on resumption of office in 2017 with series of due diligence undertaken by both the State and Federal Governments.
However, the Ode-Irele born Prince and oil magnet stated that the people of the State, especially those from the Southern Senatorial District must be very grateful to the Governor Akeredolu on the establishment of a Port within the District, which according to Odimayo, will automatically boost the economic activities of the areas, including Okitipupa and Irele, and the entire State.
“The take-off of a Deep Sea Port in the neighbouring Ilaje local government area, will massively impacts and completely turnaround the economy fortune of Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency for good, and the people will be better for it.
“This is why on behalf of the good people of Ikaleland, I am appreciating our “Talk and Do” Governor for the success story of Ondo Deep Sea Port which is happening in our lifetime to the Glory of God and benefit of mankind.
“I wish to congratulate the Governor, the Minister of States for Transportation, Prince Ademola Adegoroye and the entire people of Ondo State on the remarkable achievement of obtaining the Deep Sea approval in the State.
This indeed, is a very significant milestone in the economic development of our beloved state.
“I will also like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the positive impact this achievement will have on the lives of the people of Ondo State. The Deep Sea approval not only signifies economic boom but also presents immense opportunities for jobs creation, investment opportunities, and the enhancement of the livelihoods of the people of the State.”
