APC celebrates Gov. Abiodun's Industrial Revolution Award
President Muhammadu Buhari decorated Gov Abiodun with the Distinguished Award for Industrial Revolution.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has felicitated with Governor Dapo Abiodun, on the award of excellence for industrial revolution presented to him over the weekend by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party, in a statement issued to newsmen in Abeokuta, the State capital, and signed by its Chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi, described the award conferred on Governor Abiodun "as most deserving and coming at the right time."
Last Friday, at a ceremony held inside the conference hall of the Presidential Villa, Prince Dapo Abiodun along with 43 other prominent Nigerians and governors, including former President, Goodluck Jonathan, were honoured with various awards of excellence in public service.
Chief Sanusi remarked that "the award could not have come at a better time than now when our governor is about to launch his campaign for a second term in office. The award is no doubt, a confirmation of Your Excellency's sterling performance and excellent strides in good governance and delivery of the dividends of democracy in all sectors of our economy ".

"The party urged the Governor not to rest on his oars: "We urge you not to rest on your oars sir, in your determination to continue to serve our dear state. Your best is yet to come sir".
According to the party, the governor had, in the last three and a half years, been credited with superlative performances in the area of investments in agriculture, road infrastructure, ICT, urban renewal, the building of an agro-allied Airport, and security of life and property.
It noted that the latest award, coming on the heels of the recent confirmation by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) that Ogun State, with 100.9bn revenue profile in 2021, is one of the states with the highest internally generated revenue nationwide, coming only after Lagos, the FCT and Rivers State; is expected to further spur the Ogun governor to achieve greater heights in governance.
The award was organised by The Best Strategic Media (TBS) in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary to the Federal Government of the Federation.
