Imo State Presents Industrialisation Plan In Trade Investment Forum by zuchyblink(m): 10:05pm On Sep 01, 2015 |
The Imo State government says it is set to
begin the construction of a multi-million
Naira Industrial Park to enhance
industrialisation and economic growth.
As contained in a plan presented at a Trade
Investment Forum on Monday, the park
would be located in Ohaji Egbema and
Oguta oil producing areas of the state in
eastern Nigeria, with a target to generate
about five billion dollars yearly.
The three-day Imo Trade Investment Forum
is organised by the State government and is
holding at the Imo State Trade Investment
Centre in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Declaring the Forum open, the Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha, said that the
State government had already earmarked
20,000 hectares of land in Ohaji Egbema for
the easy take-off of the modern industrial
park that will open Imo state to the world.
He reiterated his commitment to ensuring
that within the next four years, his mission
and vision remained industrialisation,
wealth creation and creation of job
opportunities for teaming unemployed
youths in the state.
The newly completed Imo Trade Centre, the
venue for the Forum, came alive on
Monday, with business men and investors
both foreign and local all gathered to
witness the first ever investment forum.
During his campaign for a second term in
office, Governor Okorocha had emphasised
his plan to industrialise the state, with a
campaign mantra; “jobs, jobs, jobs;
industry, industry, industry, industry;
factory, factory, factory”.
Since industrialisation and business
investment is the main focus of the Forum,
the chairman of the Imo State Trade
Investment Forum committee, Rex Anunobi
and the chairman of the proposed Industrial
Park, Innocent Nzuma, reeled out the
potentials embedded in Imo State, areas of
partnership and the benefits of investing in
Imo State.
Mr Nzuma, who is also the CEO of Zuma
Energy Group, said the Imo Industrial Park
when running is capable of generating
about five billion dollars for the state
annually, especially with the large deposit of
gas in Imo state, the presence of the Ohaji
Egbema power plant, the proposed Sam
Mbakwe Cargo Airport and the proximity of
Imo State to other commercial states like
Onitsha, Aba and Port Harcourt.
He urged investors and businessmen, both
local and foreign, to take advantage of the
proposed park and partner with Imo State
on the project that would expectedly boost
the economic of the state and the nation at
large.
Foreign investors at the Forum expressed
readiness to do business in the state at the
completion of the Park.
Agriculture, oil and gas, construction,
procurement and logistics, healthcare and
education are the basic areas the Trade
Investment Forum is focusing on. |
