Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko yesterday promised to develop the bitumen deposits in the state.
The governor spoke in Agbabu, Odigbo Local Government Area during his campaign tour.
The state’s bitumen deposits are reputed to be the second largest in the world, after those of Venezuela in South America.
Mimiko said his administration had applied for revalidation of certificate for the bitumen exploration.
The governor inaugurated some projects in the community, including a town hall.
He explained that with the exploration of the resources in the community, it would become a cynosure of all eyes and become a major contributor to the national resources.
Mimiko said Ondo State had established a relationship with some other countries, including Trinidad and Tobago, which have developed their bitumen deposits for commercial purposes.
