The governor noted that the initiatives have strengthened financial inclusion, leadership capacity, and household resilience, while also highlighting the impact of OGCARES and OGSTEP in post-COVID recovery, skills development, agriculture, and land reforms. He added that under RAAMP, about 209km of rural roads are being upgraded to improve farm-to-market access.

World Bank officials reaffirmed continued support for Ogun State and Nigeria, with a strong focus on job creation, electricity sector reforms, and human capital development.
