The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum (PDP-GF), under the chairmanship of Senator Bala Mohammed, has commended Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for the progress made on the Oyo State Government (OYSG)-Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG) Infrastructure Development and Distribution project.
The Forum, in a statement signed by its Director General, Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, praised the visionary initiative of Governor Makinde and his administration for creating a conducive business environment that has attracted multi-billion Naira investments to the state.
