Abiodun to Break Ground for Lee Group’s 450-Hectare Industrial Park in Ogun

Ogun State is poised for another significant industrial growth as Lee Group, a global conglomerate, plans to set up an advanced industrial park on 450 hectares of land near the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, close to Makun Village and the Sagamu Interchange. On Thursday, November 12, 2026, Governor Dapo Abiodun will officially break ground for the venture, reinforcing the state's commitment to drawing large-scale investments, boosting industrial capacity, and generating employment opportunities.

The sprawling industrial park is designed to house 29 factories and associated commercial and recreation areas. The projected factories will produce an array of goods from footwear and leather items to plastics, packaging materials, personal care products, and household goods. The project will also include conference halls, hospitality services, and recreational facilities to aid business activities.

Its prime location on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, near the Sagamu Interchange, will grant businesses easy access to significant consumer markets in Ogun and Lagos states, acting as a vital entry point to markets throughout the West African region. This project is set to generate direct and indirect jobs, spur commercial activity, and open business prospects for local suppliers, logistics firms, contractors, and service providers.

Moreover, it will bolster the state’s industrial value chain, encourage private sector involvement, and provide opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises to assist the factories. The initiative aligns with Governor Abiodun's economic growth agenda, which emphasizes industrialization, investment attraction, infrastructure development, and job creation.

Ogun State's closeness to Lagos, extensive road connections, and existing industrial hubs have always made it an attractive location for manufacturing and other productive investments. The groundbreaking ceremony will officially kick off the project, further expanding Ogun State’s burgeoning industrial ecosystem and solidifying its ambition to become a major manufacturing and distribution center in Nigeria and the wider West African region.
