Makinde pledges support for entrepreneurs

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to supporting entrepreneurship and private sector growth. Speaking at the 10th anniversary celebration and commissioning of the CapitalSage Holdings Global Headquarters in Ibadan, Makinde noted that while Nigeria possesses rich natural resources, sustainable economic prosperity requires innovation, investment, and a willingness to take risks.

According to Punch, the governor stressed that natural resources alone cannot guarantee prosperity without entrepreneurship, knowledge, skills, and intensive production. Makinde urged stakeholders to recognize the role of private businesses in generating employment, creating economic opportunities, and strengthening local industries. He assured investors of continued support through measures such as enhanced security and investment facilitation to promote economic growth.
