Ogun State has emerged as the winner of the Most Sustainable Going Green Stand award at the 2025 Intra African Trade Fair (IATF) event held in Algiers, Algeria.
According to the organisers, the 2025 Intra African Trade Fair (IATF) award is in recognition of Ogun State’s exceptional contribution to the 2025 IATF held in Algiers, Algeria between September 4 and September 10. The extraordinary exhibition was organised by the African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank) in partnership with the African Union Commission and the AfCTA Secretariat and hosted by the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria.
The plaque indicating Ogun State’s success was signed by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of Nigerian and Chairman of the IATF 2025 Advisory Council.
Ogun State’s blueprint for economic transformation includes multi-modal infrastructure development: the Gateway International Cargo Airport, Ijebu-Ode and Kajola Dry Ports, over 1,200 kilometres of upgraded roads, and expanded gas reticulation networks. In addition, economic development clusters and free trade zones, including the Remo Economic Development Cluster, anchored by the newly licensed Gateway International Airport; the Ijebu Economic Development Cluster with proximity to the Dangote Refinery and Agro-Allied Industries; the Agbara Industrial Cluster; the Ogun-Guangdong Free Trade Zone; and several other hubs designed to support co-location, shared utilities, and value-chain optimisation.
