Business and Investment
Ògèrè Rẹ́mọ has evolved from a predominantly agricultural and trading community into a growing commercial and industrial centre. Agriculture and trade formed the traditional foundation of the local economy, with farming activities including rice, kola nut, and cocoa, and trade in garri, rice, provisions, and textiles.
Today, the economy is considerably more diversified. Ògèrè accommodates manufacturing and processing industries, markets, hospitality businesses, transport and logistics activities, retail and small enterprises, professional services and a growing range of commercial activities. This section brings together business information, responsible investment context and opportunities for constructive private-sector engagement with the community.
Strategic Location and Connectivity
The Lagos–Ibadan Expressway and Ijebu-Ode–Abeokuta Road position Ògèrè within major movement corridors linking Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Sagamu, Ijebu-Ode and surrounding Remo communities. This connectivity supports logistics, manufacturing, roadside commerce, services, visitor movement and access to wider markets.
Ògèrè is also within the wider Remo economic corridor, which is undergoing substantial investment. The Gateway International Airport at Iperu-Remo provides passenger and cargo connectivity, with a 4-kilometre runway capable of accommodating large aircraft, positioning it close to the Lagos–Ibadan corridor. The Ogun State Government has identified the Gateway International Airport, Airport City and the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone within the Remo Economic Industrial Cluster as major economic investments intended to support industrialisation, agriculture, employment and logistics. The African Development Bank is supporting the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone programme.
This broader development creates significant opportunities for Ògèrè to function not as an isolated town but as part of a developing industrial, agricultural, aviation, and logistics corridor. Location is an advantage, but an investment decision still requires normal commercial and technical due diligence on land title, planning, utilities, environmental obligations, workforce needs, logistics and regulatory approvals.
Industry and Manufacturing
Ògèrè has developed a significant industrial presence, particularly around the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway corridor. The range of businesses operating within the town reflects activity across packaging, aluminium, ceramics, food and beverages, water production, paper, construction materials, engineering, footwear and other manufacturing and commercial sectors. The current community business inventory contains approximately forty companies and establishments.
Flex Films Africa Pvt. Ltd. operates its Nigerian manufacturing facility along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway at Ògèrè, with a BOPET film production line and metallising facilities. The Ogun State Environmental Protection Agency’s industrial records also identify manufacturing facilities in the Ògèrè area, including CDK Integrated Industries Limited and Italy Ceramic Company along the Lagos–Ibadan/Ògèrè industrial corridor.

Agriculture, Trade, Markets and Services
Farming, food production and trade are longstanding parts of the local economy. Traditional farming activities included the cultivation of rice, kola nut and cocoa, while trading activities included garri, rice, provisions, textiles and other commodities. Contemporary Ògèrè also includes artisans, retailers, health services, professional services, property and construction services, technology, rentals, hospitality, transport, and other SMEs that support residents, visitors, and larger businesses.
Ògèrè is also home to Animal Care Services Konsult (NIG) Ltd, established in 1979 as a wholly indigenous Nigerian company headquartered in the town. The company provides input and technical support services for poultry, livestock and aquaculture across Nigeria, demonstrating the town’s capacity to host agricultural enterprises of national reach.
The Ogere International Produce Market (Idera-Rahama Market) presents an important opportunity to strengthen Ògèrè’s role as a regional commercial and agricultural hub. The Ogun State Government has continued to develop the market in connection with the proposed relocation of the Oluwanisola Kara livestock market and associated commercial activities from Isheri. The market is designed to serve both as an international fresh produce market and an animal market.
Market and commercial infrastructure matters because enterprise depends on access, sanitation, drainage, utilities, safety and reliable transport. The Tollgate area and major road corridors create visible commercial activity alongside the town’s internal markets and service economy.
Hospitality, Heritage and Visitor Economy
Ògèrè’s Palace, Lipakala Day, Museum, religious heritage, cultural sites and strategic location create a basis for responsible visitor activity. The town also has established conference and hospitality capacity through Ogere Resort and Conference Centre, a 200-room facility on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway with restaurant, pool and conference amenities.
Heritage-related investment should protect cultural integrity and community access. Sacred sites, living institutions and restricted areas remain under the authority of their traditional custodians.

Responsible Investment Principles
Long-term investment works best when commercial success and community relationships reinforce one another. Businesses are encouraged to maintain lawful operations, fair and safe employment, environmental responsibility, respectful stakeholder engagement and transparent approaches to community impact.
Potential investors should engage the appropriate professional advisers, landowners, statutory authorities and community institutions for the specific decisions that fall within their respective responsibilities. The website provides an introduction and contact route, not legal or investment advice.
Business and CSR Partnership
Corporate social responsibility is part of the broader business-community relationship. Priority partnership areas include education and digital skills, health and wellbeing, water and sanitation, youth employment, public safety, environment, civic infrastructure, sports, heritage and community spaces. CSR is strongest when it is need-led, transparent and sustainable. A contribution identifies the beneficiary, responsible body, delivery scope and maintenance or reporting arrangements. Businesses can also create community value through local employment, apprenticeships, responsible procurement and skills transfer, not only through cash donations.
