Public Health
COVID-19 statewide lockdown
Reversed
The directive
Ordered a total lockdown of Ogun State starting 3 April 2020, restricting movement to and from neighbouring states and international borders, with a task force conducting spot checks on businesses for compliance.
Real-world effect
The lockdown was extended multiple times before being eased in phases from early May 2020, with a second phase of relaxation beginning 1 June 2020; the order was ultimately lifted as the acute phase of the pandemic passed.
Land & Environment
Land management and mining Executive Orders
Implemented
The directive
Signed three Executive Orders barring traditional rulers from entering land-related MOUs or agreements, tightening state oversight of mining and industrial land use, and requiring all land acquisitions and explorations to go through approved, transparent processes.
Real-world effect
The orders were framed as closing loopholes that had enabled irregular land allocation; the state has continued to face litigation over specific disputed parcels since the orders were signed, indicating enforcement has not eliminated all land conflicts.
Land & Environment
One-month land amnesty for encroachers on government land
Implemented
The directive
Opened a portal and granted a one-month moratorium for residents and businesses who had built on land already acquired by the state government to apply for ratification of their documents.
Real-world effect
The amnesty was intended to formalise the status of structures on government-acquired land while asserting state ownership going forward; no independent figures on how many applications were received or approved were identified for this entry.
Labour
₦77,000 state minimum wage
Implemented
The directive
Approved ₦77,000 as the new minimum wage for the lowest-paid worker in Ogun State's employ, effective immediately from October 2024.
Real-world effect
At the time of signing this was reported as the highest state minimum wage in Nigeria, and the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress publicly welcomed the decision.
Security
Amotekun Corps recruitment expansion
Implemented
The directive
Approved successive rounds of Amotekun Corps recruitment — including 1,000 additional operatives in 2024 and a further recruitment window opened in February-March 2026 — alongside the introduction of a new 'Operation Kosaye' security doctrine.
Real-world effect
The Corps Commander described the expansions as consolidating gains in crime prevention and intelligence-driven policing; independent, state-wide crime statistics confirming impact were not identified for this entry.
