in enugu thread some months ago, someone was lamenting on the abandonment of the enugu industrial city project. but just recently i just heard that the project is still been supported by the current administration i really want to find out if the project is still on going

The initial Enugu industrial city was a project proposed by Chinese investors but that project stalled But recently, the Enugu Enpower free trade zone is very similar to the first project and was launched last week Thursday. If this project goes through as planned, it will rapidly industrialize Enugu exponentially
