Akeredolu seeks pact on investment, others with Borough of Greenwich
ONDO State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has visited the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London, the United Kingdom, Councillor Denise Hyland, to seek partnership between Greenwich and the state.
Akeredolu, who described Ondo as an educationally advanced state with a large youth population that provides affordable labour for industrial activities and women empowerment, made case for investment in the state.
The governor noted that the state already had partnership agreement with the city of Linyi in China, which he said, had led to the Ondo/ Linyi Industrial Hub.
“We have the biggest concentration of industries in one location and impacting heavily on the socio- economic life of state and citizens alike. This is a testament of one of the benefits of sister city relationships among other things.
“We seek assistance in education through ICT empowerment, library support, ICT initiatives, youth and women development programmes, among other things.”
