Mr. Omoleye Olabode, the African Democratic Congress candidate for the Federal House of Representatives, Abeokuta North/Obafemi Owode/Odeda Federal Constituency, on Saturday called for the development of Ogun State border towns. He noted that the Ogun border towns played important role in the revenue generation drive of the state and if well-developed would provide more internally generated revenue for the state. “The border towns are gateways to the economic prosperity of the state because of the large concentration of industries there and also proximity to Lagos State. “There is a need to develop these communities if we want to be sincere about shoring up the revenue of the state. “We can do better in revenue generation by investing in these communities.”(NAN)DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
