In terms of industrialization, the State that has seen the most progress in the last decade has been Ogun. Industrial capital of Nigeria: Agbara, Sango-Otta, Ibafo, Mowe, Sagamu etc.
Lagos too is seeing some very interesting stuff in the Lekki Corridor: the Lekki Free Zone.

Prev tweet. This language thing fascinating. When you do transliteration of “Onion” from Arabic to English you get ‘basal’/ ‘basala’/ ‘al-basal’
Hausa lang. borrowed it almost intact as ‘Albasa’
Yoruba borrowed it as ‘Alubosa’ (cos Yoruba likes splitting consonants with vowels)
No doubt Yoruba did quite a bit of borrowing from Arabic and Hausa.
Where Yoruba has a clear lending edge is in words that have to do with partying and merrymaking lol. Hence why ‘Owambe’ and ‘Aso-Ebi’ have become universal ‘Nigerian’ language 😀
MD @nigerianports, @hadizabalausman on Channels Sunrise now, speaking about port decongestion efforts. The new electronic call-up system, ETO launches on Saturday Feb 27.
The plan is for the electronic call-up system for trucks to work in conjunction with a network of approved Truck Parks (8 approved so far).
.@hadizabalausman: There will be glitches and teething issues in the deployment of the electronic call-up system, but we must start. We will address the issues as they arise.
