Chima_Agbalajob: More on Enugu centenary city...

IGBO-SON:


^^^Chima, what's this building for? So besides the main entrance, they've started building other structures as well?

Nice to see the buildings are in keeping with the designs in the renders; they shouldn't compromise on quality!

Chima_Agbalajob:

I think they are luxury apartments designed for the high density section of the centenary city.

IGBO-SON:


^^^I think it's likely to be an office or hotel......if you check well, there's something that looks like a pool (or some kinda water feature) in the render! Luxury apartments don't look anything like that.

AL!N1 has been renamed to Nigerian Eagle sources intimate with the Nigerian aviation industry have told ch-aviation. Though still subject to official confirmation, Nigerian Eagle is set to come about from the amalgamation of AL!AJ and defunct national carrier, AL!NGE by virtue of them both being controlled by the Nigerian government's Assets Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON). AL!VGN was the name chosen for Air Nigeria's predecessor following the withdrawal of Richard Branson and the AL!VS brand from AL!VSN in 2010. One of Aero's six B737-500s, 5N-BLC (msn 26692), recently underwent a repaint into Nigerian Eagle's new colours in Ostrava, in the Czech Republic this past week.

joeluv: ALL is now set for the commissioning of the multi-million naira ultra modern integrated air conditioner and water dispenser manufacturing plant located in Enugu State.

The plant, 100 per cent Nigerian owned and the first in South-East and South-South geo-political zones of the country with a capacity of employing over 200 persons will be commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan on December 6.

The President will also lay the foundation stone for two other industries – a PVC manufacturing plant and LCD/LED assembly plant, all located within the premises of the company, tagged, “White Horse Industrial City.”

Managing Director, White Horse General Appliances Limited, Chika Joseph Okechukwu, told journalists yesterday that the company sitting on 100 acres of land was a fulfillment of a dream that started in 2007, when the foundation stone of the place was laid by the then Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime.

He said, “The entire master plan is going to be an industrial city called the “White Horse Industrial City,” where all the products we have on our catalogue and other ones that are not there are manufactured and assembled at the same time. For example, we have refrigerators, and we are going to build the plant here. We have a bottling company for water and beverages. We have one of the best water here, which is the same, the Henkel plant and 7up are using. It will be a small city.”

Okechukwu said that he decided to site the industry in Egede, Enugu State based on a number of higher institutions turning out graduates in the state, adding that when all the units of the area come on stream, it would employ about 1000 workers.

He called on governments in the country to continue to encourage local industries by way of patronising their products, saying it was the only way they could survive and boost employment.
