Daniel, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Navy, also commended the president’s support for reviving the Olokola deep-seaport project, noting its potential to positively impact the state’s economy.
He made the remarks during the Bola Ahmed Tinubu–Otunba Gbenga Daniel (BATOGD) Mid-term Community Assessment and Review Tour in Abigi, Ogun Waterside LGA, an event aimed at evaluating progress, engaging constituents, and inspecting ongoing projects.
The lawmaker highlighted that the federal government was improving local accessibility via the new Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway route alignment, describing Tinubu’s initiatives as part of a broader strategy to empower citizens through infrastructure and development projects.
Daniel stated that the naval base and dockyard in Ode-Omi would generate employment opportunities and stimulate infrastructure growth in the area.
He emphasized that the local community remains deeply grateful and intends to support the president in the 2027 general elections.
He explained:
“The expanse of land has been allocated to the Nigerian Navy for over 50 years without development. Now, with God’s grace, my role as Senator and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Navy has enabled us to realize this strategic initiative. We owe gratitude to President Tinubu for approving the project.”
The senator also reflected on previous development plans, noting that the Gateway Industrial and Petro-Gas Institute (GIPI) in Ode-Omi was established to train personnel for a proposed refinery and deep-seaport project.
He assured that federal support would revitalize GIPI, complementing state efforts.
According to Daniel, the naval base is envisioned as a “naval city” with phased development:
1. Phase One: Accommodation for senior and junior officers, administrative buildings, perimeter fencing, and security infrastructure.
2. Phase Two: A naval secondary school.
3. Phase Three: A naval hospital.
He underscored that federal funding will ensure the project achieves its full potential, enhancing both security and economic opportunities for the community.
Daniel concluded by urging citizens to support President Tinubu’s administration for a second term, asserting that the president’s programs reflect a genuine commitment to national development.

The high-level engagement between Adron Group and the Niger Foods Breeding and Feedlot Center focused on unlocking vast opportunities in the livestock industry and exploring the establishment of specialised Adron Farm Estates across Niger State, with the Center positioned to play a strategic facilitation role in the proposed collaboration.
Adron Homes and Properties, widely recognised as one of Nigeria’s foremost real estate development companies, has built a strong reputation for delivering secure, affordable and premium housing developments across the country.
Through this proposed initiative, the Group is set to extend its proven expertise in structured estate development into the agricultural sector.
The proposed Adron Farm Estates are envisioned as purpose-built agricultural communities, providing structured, secure and infrastructure-driven land layouts designed to support commercial farming, livestock production and agro-processing.
During a tour of the Niger Foods Breeding and Feedlot Center, discussions between the leadership of Adron Group and the Center highlighted the critical role of modern infrastructure and structured development in addressing the challenges of Nigeria’s fragmented agricultural market system.
The proposed collaboration seeks to combine Adron Group’s extensive experience in land development and infrastructure with the agricultural expertise, livestock production capacity and market development experience of the Niger Foods Breeding and Feedlot Center, with the objective of creating a new and sustainable model for agricultural development.
Beyond enhancing food production and unlocking new opportunities in livestock and agribusiness, the initiative is expected to stimulate rural development, create employment opportunities, attract investment and strengthen the agricultural value chain across Niger State.
The collaboration between Adron Group and the Niger Foods Breeding and Feedlot Center also holds the potential to position Niger State as a major hub for integrated agricultural and real estate development, while demonstrating how strategic partnerships between the real estate and agricultural sectors can unlock new possibilities for economic growth and national development.
