The Oyo State government has said that its administration has made the state one of the safest and most conducive for would-be investors to come and do their businesses without any restrictions or hindrances.
The Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde stated this while receiving the leadership of SkyWorld Community Innovation Transport Africa Limited, led by its Ambassador, Dr Kristiaan Van Den Vyver, at the government secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan today.
The meeting was part of the government’s effort to ensure a safe, adequate, and efficient transport infrastructure that can sustain the state’s social and economic development and expand the tourism sector.
Skyway is a new era in the transport industry. It is an electronic cable car with string transport that combines proven technologies with innovative solutions to create a completely new approach to passenger and cargo transportation.
The technology is elevated above the earth to traverse through the bush, waters, and mountains, preserving nature without the need to demolish an ecological tree to affect the atmosphere or deplete the environment’s structures.
While receiving the representatives of a Belarusian Electronic Transportation Company, Governor Makinde, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Tourism and Culture, Hon. Akeem Ademola Ige, expressed the state government’s willingness to partner with any company or investor that can add value to the expansion of its economy.
Hon. Ige expressed his happiness that the company is considering establishing the electronic cable car, which is the first of its kind in Nigeria, in Oyo State. He stressed that it will serve as another major source of transportation tourism in the State when it is launched.
While describing the State Governor, Seyi Makinde, as a very innovative leader who wants the best for his people, Hon. Ige assured the investor that the government would not relent in its effort to create a safe and enabling environment for their business to thrive.
Complementing Hon Ademola Ige’s remark, the Special Assistant to Governor Makinde on OYSIEC Matters, Mr Innocent Tallest, said the present administration has really eased the transportation sector by constructing many roads and terminals in and around the State.
Earlier in his remarks, the team leader, Prof. Kristiaan Van Den Vyver, noted that the transportation sector in Nigeria has faced many setbacks, hence the need to revive it with a new innovative system.
Prof. Van Den Vyver, who commended Governor Seyi Makinde on various developmental projects his administration has executed, said it was the Governor’s performance, especially on infrastructure, that motivated his company to seek partnership with the government in transportation.
