Lagos unveils medical factory to strengthen health care

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has inaugurated the state’s first medical syringe manufacturing facility, O-Care Disposable Syringes.

During the inauguration, he reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promoted industrialisation and economic growth through strategic investments in infrastructure, power supply and policy reforms.

The facility established by Transgreen Nigeria Limited, and located at Odofin Park Estate, Ijesha, Apapa-Oshodi, Lagos, has a daily production capacity of 750,000 syringes, significantly reducing the nation’s reliance on imports and ensuring a steady supply of essential health care products.

“Our administration remains committed to creating an enabling environment for businesses like Transgreen Nigeria Limited to thrive. Through strategic investments in infrastructure, power supply and policy reforms, we will continue to support initiatives that drive industrialisation and economic growth,” the governor said.

Transgreen Nigeria Ltd. Managing Director, Cyprian Orakpo, pledged to expand operations and broaden the range of medical products manufactured.
