<p>Ogun  ;State
Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has opened  ;a  ;job portal  ;for youth and
graduate employment .</p>



<p>In a statement issued
in Abeokuta by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor  ;Kunle Somorin,
the portal is open for  ;continuous registration ; for  ;unemployed youths in the State, with a view to
providing them jobs suitable for their trade and academic qualifications.</p>



<p>He gave the site
address as ;<a href="http://www.iseya.ng/public/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.iseya.ng/public/</a>. ;</p>



<p>“The Government of Ogun
State is partnering with ; the private
sector  ;to expand the job space for our
teeming young men and women and those who have special talents,&#8221; the
statement quoted the Governor as saying. ;</p>



<p>&#8220;It is a major
pillar of our quality governance model. We are going to have an inclusive
government that will utilize valuable potential that abound in the State and
that&#8217;s why we are involving the private sector. ;</p>



<p>“All graduates and
those with vocational training across the State will give their information and
we will endeavour  ;to match them with potential employers, not only within
the civil service but also with the private sector, with whom we are
partnering”, he added.</p>



<p>To ensure that the
citizens and residents of the States are not short-changed “we will send a
local content bill for legislative action, such that investors will first look
inward to availability of workers in Ogun State and make our youths their
primary catchment area when they site their companies here”.</p>



<p>The Governor said his
Government plans certain enablers as corollary to his mission  ;to build
our future together through &#8220;qualitative governance, education,
 ;healthcare, infrastructural development, digitization and agriculture
&#8220;.</p>



<p>&#8220;Besides linking
our graduates with industrialists and Government agencies, we plan to engage
10,000 farmers to be supported for mechanised farming with attendant value
chain benefits to make agribusiness bedrock of his administration’s plan to
lift people out of poverty.</p>



<p>&#8220;Some will also  ;be trained as DJ, artistes,  ;dramatists,
musicians, the creative arts and entrepreneurship&#8221;, the statement added.</p>



<p>Already, Governor
Abiodun said 10,000 youths will be supported to plant cassava, maize and rice &#8211;
crops in which the state is a leading producer.</p>



<p>&#8220;Each farmer will
get a parcel of land and be supported with clearing,  ;seedlings,
 ;extension and off takers services to ensure profitability of their
ventures,&#8221; the statement concluded. ;</p>



<p>Meanwhile,
 ;Governor  ;Abiodun has said that very
soon the State would be  ;exporting milk
to China once the current arrangement between the Irish Diary Milk and the
State Government becomes operational. ;</p>



<p> ;He stated this  ;when the management of the Global Diary
producers visited him  ;on Wednesday in
Abeokuta. ;</p>



<p> ;Abiodun  ;said  ;that plans are on by his administration to
have a world class ranch that would be created through the Public Private
Partnership.</p>



<p> ;Irish Dairy Milk
came to explore and discuss how best they could set up their manufacturing
plant in the state.</p>



<p>The Governor expressed
gladness on the opportunity the agricultural sector brings to the State, adding
that agriculture, being one of the biggest pillars of his administration, could
help boost the Internally Generated Revenue and also helps reduce the rate of unemployment
in the State.</p>



<p> ;Abiodun said his
 ;administration would establish an investment promotion agency to drive
the public private partnership agenda, saying that attention was also being
paid to livestock, adding that the proximity of Ogun state to other states
could help to make it the food basket of the nation.</p>



<p>&#8221; We are very
excited by the opportunity that the agricultural sector presents, the
agricultural sector is one of our biggest pillars,  ;because not only do we
believe that through agriculture we can employ our youths, we can guarantee
food security, we can also generate revenue.</p>



<p>&#8220;At this point in
time in this country, there is a lot of discuss on cattle rearing, cattle ranching,
for us in Ogun state. Beside the fact that we are looking at agric as a sector,
we are looking at livestock as well, we believe that our proximity to other
states gives us the advantage of being able to feed them, so we are actually
looking at how to set up our own ranches to be owned by the Public Private
Partnership (PPP),&#8221; he said.</p>



<p>&#8221;  ;Noting will
delight us in this state than to have our ranches, because even the cattle
market that Lagos depends on is right here in our state and we have been
discussing in the last one week on how to ensure that we actually have a proper
ranch, properly organized ranch and an abatior that will be world class, &#8221;
he said.</p>



<p>The governor while
appreciating the gesture of the company to set up their manufacturing plant in
the state, assured them that the state was ready and  ;prepared to join
hands with them, adding that his administration would be more than happy to
give them whatever support that would be required.</p>



<p>In his remarks, the
Chief Executive Officer, Irish Diary Milk, Global, Samir Boudjada who noted
that they choose the state because of its proximity to Lagos state, added that
the state  ;is strategically relevant and has passed all tests.</p>



<p>&#8221; This is the
ultimate state for us, the feedback is really positive and we are looking
forward to being part of this private partnership and creating jobs in Nigeria.</p>



<p>&#8221; This is the
gateway state close to Lagos and you know when you are sighting a factory, you
need certain parameters, we need a seaport that we can export out our goods,so,
Ogun state is strategically relevant to the business of this nature and we did
not mistake, Ogun State has passed all the tests&#8221;, he added ;</p>
