In furtherance of his administration's efforts to promote industrialisation in the country, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a $1.5 billion methanol plant in Ibeno, Akwa Ibom State, by Quantum Petrochemical Company Limited, a company established by the Founder of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Jim Ovia. Speaking at the ceremony, Jonathan said the federal government has sought to support such gas-based industries through the gas master plan strategy and would continue its efforts to make gas available for such projects. He therefore advocated the establishment of more petrochemical plants in the country to create wealth and boost the country's foreign exchange earnings. “This $1.5 billion plant will put Nigeria on the global map for petrochemicals processing, particularly given the role that global brands such as IHS and Saipem are playing as the consultants and project developer of the initiative respectively. “The Federal Government of Nigeria lends it support wholeheartedly to ensuring the success of this project. I would like to encourage Mr. Jim Ovia and his board not to relent in their efforts to support the growth of entrepreneurship in the Nigerian economy,” he said. The president also thanked the host community for providing land for the project, pointing out that the country needed more of such projects meant to provide direct and indirect jobs for the teeming populace and reduce poverty. Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, described Jonathan as a transformational leader, noting that he had touched all sectors of the economy. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/jonathan-inaugurates-ovia-s-1-5bn-petrochemical-plant/186389/ 4 Likes

With a massive company as this, the multiplier effect on the economy on the long run can put Nigeria in the top 20 Industrialized Economy in the next 10 years if well utilized. Akwa Ibom is the bomb, with a standard stadium, world class hotel resort and now this.....I see no reason if the sea port at Ibaka is opened how this blessed State will not be a force to be recognised in the whole world. GEJ is working, haters are foaming at the mouth  7 Likes |

jazzydee: The president opened/commissioned the completed $600m gas processing plant at Esit Eket and laid the the foundation for a $1.5bn petrochemical and methanol plat at ibeno all in the same day. you are so correct. a heavy industry like a petrochemical and mrthanol plant is the foundation that will support lots of light/small industries that will convert the raw materials from the heavy industry into finished goods. A solid industrial foundation has been laid in the state. lots of jobs on the horizon. 5 Likes |

Akwa Ibom is a great site for industries. 6 Likes |

ujoinme: Oga biko how soon is soon? My fear is that Akpabio may have a disagreement with his successor and this ibaka project will be stopped indefinitely since its a state govt project. We need this ibaka to work. Meanwhile, I thought Bayelsa is building their own sea port too? How is that project? |
