Odua investment and Lagos: One good reason to get married now | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Would the ACs still work? Would the paintwork still shine? Would the interiors be flooded with hawkers and beggars? Would the glass doors swing open once you give them a gentle push? Would the LED boards still flicker with numbers and letters to announce the routes and fares? Would you be able to do anything about this impending rot that you so viscerally fear?

These days, at least since July of 2021, it has become a thing to do an Ibadan-Lagos-Ibadan roundtrip by completely avoiding the predictable traffic chokehold of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.Leave Ibadan at 8am. Get to Lagos at 10:25am. Depart for Ibadan at 4pm.

As it gets more intentional with this goal, its closest neighbours — Ogun, Oyo and maybe Osun, Ondo and Ekiti — also stand to benefit. People like me are giddy for this because, it’s like, finally, this no-brainer idea that has been there forever is coming to life. All it took is just about 45 years and two like-minded governors getting up to take serious action.

When it was founded in 1959, it was called the Western Nigeria Development Corporation. Four years later, it changed its name to Western States Industrial Investment and Credit Corporation. From these names, you can tell that it was meant to do what Lagos and Ogun are doing together now. What the LOJDC — may I propose LOJIC, please? — offers is a mega ecosystem inside which others can tap into the opportunities that is Lagos State. It’s like designing an open OS to trigger innovation and attract prodigious amount of funding. It is more than owning singular apps, which is what Odu’a Investment seems to be engaged in at the moment.

Ogbon nbe, eyan wa 🙂
