The Chairman, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, has said he will mobilise local and foreign investors to partner with his government to establish viable companies across Osun State.
A statement from the company on Wednesday said he spoke during a courtesy visit to Tribune Newspaper, in Ibadan, Oyo State
He said, “I am a giant myself in the corporate world. We know what to do to create jobs. I have over 5,000 people working in the companies I established, the conglomerate called Mutual Benefits in Nigeria and across other African markets such as Liberia, Niger, and Cameroon.
“I am coming to offer my expertise to help Osun State people. If we explore the potential in the state and tap the resources we have, we will be presenting a budget of N1tn.”
Ogunbiyi, who is the governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Osun State, added, “When we say Osun State has a lot of potential, it takes the discerning eye, it takes the man that has the capacity, it takes an entrepreneur like myself to be able to identify them, and we have identified them.”
“I have produced what I can call a manifesto. I don’t think Osun people have seen a manifesto in the last 15 years. We have produced a manifesto, which is my contract of engagement with the Osun people, and it contains such and such, areas we are going to touch on in our first term.”
