Umuahia— IN an effort to
provide jobs for the youth,
fight crimes and boost Abia
State’s economy, Governor
Theodore Orji has
inaugurated a 6-man
advisory committee to revive
the moribund Aba Textiles
Mills.
Speaking while inaugurating
the committee, Governor Orji
said the action was in line
with his promise to
reactivate moribund
industries in the state.
According to him, the
reactivation of the textile mill
will boost business and
employment and restore the
glory of Aba as the Japan of
Africa.
The governor urged
members of the committee
to come up with ideas on
how to revive the mill.
He also expressed the hope
that inauguration of the
committee would mark a
new dawn for the industrial
revolution of Abia State,
saying he would make Aba
the Dubai of Nigeria.
He explained that he carefully
selected the committee
members with wide
knowledge of textile
business to ensure the
success of the project.
The governor also disclosed
that the committee handling
the reactivation of Golden
Guinea Breweries was
making appreciable progress
and hoped that the project
would be realized before he
left office.
Orji regretted that Aba
Textile Mills had been
abandoned by successive
governments but assured
that his government could
not afford to allow the
company die.
In his remark, chairman of
the committee, Mr. Godwin
Osuala, thanked the
governor for finding them fit
to serve and assured that the
committee would do its best
to revive the company which
provided employment to
about 1500 workers when it
was functioning in 2000.
Osuala, however, urged the
governor to provide the
committee with the
necessary logistics to work
with.

lol. . . . Na now this man wan wake up. Or is it going to end in just setting up commitee, rubbish

He is pretending to be busy.

Over the years they have been many committes set up on this subject matter. They must have reports. Why not get them and study those reports?

Waste of money once again on endless committes.

Why bashing the Gov? its normal practice to be heard by public to show that he is still in power. Ok committee implementation nko,

is it a committee that will resuscitate the mill?Set up a board and let them start up the mill like a business entity.

just trying to score cheap political points.lets see how this whole thing will play out.problems of aba textile mills ranges from general power problems in nigeria,inability of govt to manage business in nigeria and corruption.govt has no business in business,rather they should provide the enabling environment for private businesses to thrive.

Fee Dee Feeeeeeeeeeeeee phower fo dee pheofle, Rubish party

T.A Orji is crap. And all he does is not too far away from crap.

I just cant wait for 4 years to go by quickly. This dude annoys the heck out of me.

Time waits for nobody. Wake up and move this state forward. Sucks OLD man

The state is already down with bad government. They will talk about this committee till the end of his tenure. Where is ezagu and ezeuche You guys should do something about this state called abia. The rest of the SE has moved forward with good governance. From Anambra to Ebonyi to Enugu its all goods news all the way, and more recently imo although the man has done nothing so far, maybe he is still settling down . In Abia state they are still setting up committee. Na waoo This one another orju uzo kalu and co

asscend:

He is pretending to be busy.

Like Adam Oshiomole

Orji na coconut head.he shall see what will happen to him in office

i dey laugh. Very funny

;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d ;d

Orji is a f00l and the biggest thief. He has has bought half of Umuahia for himself. You though the other Orji was bad, this one is even worse and lacks ideas. Abia has seen no change.

A public-private partnership could make this work. There is a market for textile products by default, there are millioniares and billionaires in Ariaria Market already doing well in the textlie business which the Government can liaise with. I don't see why this can't work.

Let the committe not work in isolation, if they do that they will surely fail.

But if they seek wise counsel, investment and support from those already profiting from the business then they can learn how to produce products that can fairly compete with imported textiles.

Banning import was never the answer, now someone is beginning to think of a more practical solution.

Nigerian leaders and their committee mentality, dem go find one big name give am, select some illiterate slowpoke to head them, den obtain loan from IMF, before u know am them done siphon money to private account while people wey really need the fund dey suffer like ashawo toto.

In Nigeria once u hear say dem wan set up committee, just know say they mean to say, dem wan embezzle money

That govno should be tied to a tree and shot 1milion times.Other govnos have initiated free educatn he is busy handing over schools back to the missions to escape paying for d cost of running these schools.

Committees upon committees which end up never achieving anything. Anyway, we will see.

Orji is nothing but a deer in a headlight. One of these days he will set up a c'ttee to help him set up a new c'ttee to revive another c'ttee.

Hmn,the cret1n has become PR wise, me tinks he had 2 set up a comitee 2 revive his PR departmnt nd it workd, :-|

MeGaStReEt:

Like Adam Oshiomole

;d

The textile mill should be privatized. Government has no business selling textiles!
