The drive by the governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha to lure Imo indigenes living abroad to come and invest in the State has started yielding a positive result. The Minister for State, Ministry for Trade and Investment, Dr. Samuel Lorarer Ortom will be in Owerri on Thursday to commission one of the industries sited in Owerri by an Imo indigene.

The governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha will play host while the minister commissions the factory that is located at Ubomiri in Mbaitoli local government area of the state.

According to the Managing Director Shanghai Engineering Works, Mr Festus Mbisiogu, the industry is a multi-faceted and multi-service Construction/Consultancy Company with high objectives, providing complete integrated engineering and project management services from preliminary studies, through design to actual project execution. He noted that the company is fortified with experience work force drawn from Nigeria especially Imo, China Togo and Cameroun. “It has a team of highly talented experts and qualified Engineering Staff and clients from both Nigeria and the global oil and gas industry. The company which is the first of its kind in Imo and which posses a state of the art facilities and equipments readily reacts promptly to clients needs and hopes to become one of Nigeria's leading construction company and largest employer”.

Speaking further on the scope of the company, Mbisiogu averred that the scope covers most areas of construction which include aluminum manufacturing, block production/interlocking bricks, high way designs and construction, estate development and management, dredging and environmental services, oil and gas services, electrical and engineering services, building materials, doors, tiles, WC and host of others.

The China based business mogul who is known for his philanthropic gestures noted that he decided to site one of his companies in Imo State sequel to the plea of the governor to Imo indigenes living abroad and to contribute his quota in reducing unemployment in the state. His words.

“No place like home and as you know, charity they say begins at home. I have companies in Lagos, Europe and most Asiah countries, China and Lagos being the headquarters but I chose to invest in Imo when His Excellency Governor Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha the rescue mission commander cried to us to come home and invest in the state as to boost the economy of the state. Seeing his genuity and the unquenchable zeal burning in him to develop our dear state, I decided to cue in by investing in the state...''
It would be recalled that the Ideato South born business giant and a philanthropist personified has sank over ten boreholes to over ten communities in Ideato South LGA and has given many Imo students scholarships.

It would be recalled also that the president of Uzotex Foundation is a solace to the widows, the poor and the down trodden. He has put smiles on the faces of many through his foundation and has promised to sink upto fifteen water schemes to communities in the state.

Good for Imo state. We want more growth and developments in Igboland. Igboland is fast developing because of the hospitality of the people, presence of sustainable social and economic infrastructures, security,political stability,low corruption, afordable well educated, dedicated and well experienced work force backed with huge effective demand, access to large markets and access to several airports and sea ports.

This is the kind of nice developments thats Nigeria and Africa needs.

Excellent development. Kudos to the state govt for their proactive approach.

APC at work, nice one

@ OLABUKOLA; IT IS NOT APC AT WORK BUT APGA. ALL WISE INVESTORS SHOULD INVEST IN IMO STATE FOR AN IMPRESSIVE TURNOVER AND CASH FLOW.

@ITOROETTI; THIS IS NOT CORRUPTION BUT A PATRIOTIC MOVE BY A NIGERIAN TO DEVELOP HIS MOTHERLAND. IT'S SCOPE COVERS VARIOUS SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

I read the thing twice and still don't know what they are talking about.

@BABAPUPA; YOU NEED TO BE IN OWERRI WHEN IT WOULD BE COMMISSIONED SO THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND. IT IS A COMMENDABLE EFFORT.

shangai doesn't sound like a legit name for a Nigerian company. So I will not believe this until they set up and list their products and services in the public domain. And make it accessible to prospective clients. In 2013, no company should be in operation without a verifiable website.

Lord Naya: @ITOROETTI; THIS IS NOT CORRUPTION BUT A PATRIOTIC MOVE BY A NIGERIAN TO DEVELOP HIS MOTHERLAND. IT'S SCOPE COVERS VARIOUS SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

bros, what is various supplies of products and services? Is he running an importation business? That is hardly development.

babapupa:

what dont you understand,is it that an indigenous investor has decided to invest in his fathers land?or that Imo state is heading towards industralization?you dont need to read further because a dead brain can never articulate!..you are daftness defined.

@Dibiachukwu; he is into manufacturing, construction, consultancy, industrial design, estate management, engineering works, environmental services, oil and gas services. He intends to service the construction and oil and gas industry. He is based in Asia and has an office in Lagos but has decide to establish his business in Imo state which would service but local and international clients as well as manufacture construction materials like aluminum sheets, interlocks, doors, titles, WC and other building materials.

I hope you would understand this time.
