"The governor travelled to Turkey in the first week of July where he met prominent investors and embarked on facilities tour of factories in different cities in that country. "The official visit to Turkey commenced with Governor Lawal's visit to Bursa city where Direkci Group has the biggest greenhouse project in Turkey," the statement read.
