Tinubu Approves Oil Drilling in Ogun for Olokola Deep Seaport Project

Former Governor Bola Tinubu has given the green light for commercial oil drilling on Tongeji Island in Ogun State, as revealed by Governor Dapo Abiodun. This move is part of efforts to kickstart the Olokola Deep Seaport project, aimed at decongesting the Lagos Port and promoting economic inclusivity.

The Nigerian Navy's establishment of a forward operating base on Tongeji Island is also highlighted as a strategic measure to safeguard Nigeria's territorial integrity. The project is expected to advance significantly in the coming year, providing logistical alternatives and boosting the region's economic potential.
