Lagos State Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has emphasized his administration’s continued commitment to promoting industrialization and economic growth through strategic investments in infrastructure, power supply, and policy reforms, Eko Hot Blog reports.
Speaking at the official commissioning of the O-Care Disposable Syringes factory, established by Transgreen Nigeria Limited in the Odofin Park Estate, Sanwo-Olu, represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, stated that the government remains dedicated to fostering an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
The O-Care Disposable Syringes factory, the first medical syringe manufacturing facility in Lagos State, is a symbol of innovation, resilience, and commitment to excellence, according to Sanwo-Olu.
By producing high-quality syringes locally, the factory aims to reduce Nigeria’s dependency on imports, create jobs, and ensure essential medical supplies are readily available.
“As we celebrate this achievement today, let us remember that this is just the beginning. This is particularly important as we continue to strengthen our healthcare infrastructure to meet global standards.
Our administration remains committed to creating an enabling environment for businesses like Transgreen Nigeria Limited to thrive.
Through strategic investments in infrastructure, power supply, and policy reforms, we will continue to support initiatives that drive industrialization and economic growth”, said Sanwo-Olu.
He highlighted the importance of public-private collaboration in addressing gaps in the healthcare system, as demonstrated by the establishment of the O-Care Disposable Syringes factory.
The factory aligns with the administration’s development agenda for a healthier and more prosperous Lagos, he stated.
Speaking at the factory’s commissioning, Sanwo-Olu emphasized that the initiative reflects the government’s broader goal of economic diversification by fostering industrial growth within the state.
The factory also complements the state’s 2025 “Budget of Sustainability,” which prioritizes infrastructure development, human capital investment, and environmental sustainability.
Calling on industry leaders, healthcare professionals, investors, and policymakers, the Governor urged them to join the government in its mission to build a self-sufficient Lagos.
He asserted that by working together, innovation can drive progress and prosperity for all Lagosians.
Commending Transgreen Nigeria Limited for its vision and dedication in establishing the state-of-the-art factory, he stated that “the O-Care syringes are designed with safety and environmental sustainability in mind, qualities that reflect the highest standards of medical manufacturing.
These syringes will not only serve the needs of Nigerians but will also position Lagos as a hub for medical innovation in Africa.”
