Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would on Thursday visit some companies in Anambra to assess the challenges facing them in the state.

The state governor, Willie Obiano, made this known to journalists in Awka on Wednesday.Obiano said the visit was against the backdrop of the presentation he made to the Federal Government after he met with the Manufacturing Association of Nigeria, Anambra chapter, recently.

He said the visit would enable the federal government to provide sustainability package in the areas of forex and raw material sourcing to 300 firms in the state to enable them stay afloat.

According to the governor, Osinbajo would visit the major industrial hubs of the state including Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka.

He said the need to help the manufacturing firms could not be farfetched as the sector alone employed about 800,000 workers.

“Recently I had a meeting with manufacturers in Anambra where they made their challenges known to us and I tabled the problems in Abuja before the Federal Government and Central Bank,” the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the governor as saying to journalists.

“On that basis, the vice president will visit the state on Thursday (November 24) and see things for himself; he will visit selected firms in Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka.”

I want action, not just going there as a mere commissioner without any meaningful contributions.

Nice one, hope the visit would yield fruits.

Will anything positive come out of his visit?

800000 workers is not a joke, the intelligent people in anambra can diversify their sources of forex through export oriented businesses. The forex can fund imports and sustain the huge industrial outlay.

Intersting. I pray it's fruitful.

Hope it won't be a mere visit that will be characterize by their unfulfill promises.

Anambra, always blazing. Vice president visit or not, we dey kampe

I pray that the visit doesn't end at 'just to come and see and blame jonathan for not doing anything'

Ok

This visit is really commendable. Every part of the country must be carried along to show a sense of belonging whether in opposition or not.

In democracy, there must invariably be an opposition to ensure the ruling party doesn't go astray anyway - that's the beauty of democracy. Carrying every part of the country along will reduce endless and senseless war chants, national assets destruction, terrorism, violent crimes, hate, mutual suspicion, and secession plans.

When this is achieved, there will be national cohesion, peace, progress, unity, and love. Take it or leave it, Nigeria is better united than divided into smaller units. Every tribe is important to Nigeria project.

Mr. VP, nnoo!

Osinbanjo, welcome to igbo land, obodo oku n 'enwu n'enu. Abeg no go lost for onitsha o

*Dear Lord, I don't want much for Christmas. It is remaining 37 days before we see 2017.*
*I just want the person reading this to remain alive for me. This year will not see our end .

And you hope to reach the top one day?

This recession will eventually be to the advantage of my brothers from the South East.
They'll become more innovative,more people will patronise them which also means more money in their pockets.
But some still won't focus on the opportunities; they'll be more comfortable blaming the government.

Welcomed development

Welcome to Nnewi,the Japan of Africa
Welcome to Onitsha, the future world trade center,
Welcone to Awka, the lightening city,
Welcome to Anambra, land of great minds!
