VEGETATION, NATURAL & HUMAN RESOURCES

VEGETATION: The climate is also conducive for business and industrial growth. In Ogun State, we have in the south, the evergreen forest vegetation and soil most suitable for the cultivation of cash and food crops like oil palm, rice, kola- nut, cocoa, cotton, cassava, cocoyam and vegetables. While in the north, we have a vast grazing savannah land that is suitable for animal husbandry. In addition to this, there are forest reserves, rivers and lagoons with a beautiful ocean front down south that is good for beach resorts.

NATURAL RESOURCES: The State has natural resources that include forest and water bodies as well as large quantities of mineral deposits, such as limestone, phosphate, granite stone, gypsum, bauxite, bitumen, feldspar, clay, glass sand, kaolin, quartz, tar sand and gemstones.
HUMAN RESOURCES: Ogun State is the cradle of education in Nigeria and both the Government and the people of the State have taken education very seriously. Its people are very industrious and are found in all walks of life. It is one of the few states in Nigeria that can boast of adequate human capital needed for the development of the State.
"More than ever before, we should continue to join hands as we seek to bequeath an enduring legacy to Ogun State and generations yet unborn. "
