Last week, I had the honour of presiding over the ground-breaking ceremony of the Abia Industrial and Innovation Park (AIIP), a landmark project that aims to make Abia a centre of industrial and technological excellence by utilising its strategic location, oil and gas resources, skilled labour, and security. The park will host various businesses such as modular refineries, petrochemical and fertiliser plants, and several chains of enterprises. A seaport and an Export processing and free trade zone (EPZ) are also planned.

The project is different from previous attempts because it has trust, clarity, network, and support from the federal government and international partners. The AIIP is an economic project that will be insulated from politics and largely autonomous, with the government only providing regulations and oversight.

The AIIP is a win-win for all stakeholders, especially the host communities, the investors, the government, and the people of Abia. The Abia Industrial and Innovation Park shall exploit the oil and gas wealth in Owaza to drive the socio-economic development of all of Ukwa, a land that has suffered untold neglect in the past two decades and more. I want to express my sincere appreciation to them for offering their land for this project. We assure them of fair compensation, environmental protection, and corporate social responsibility. The investors will enjoy a favourable business environment and a steady power supply.

The AIIP is a game changer for Abia's economy and development.

I watched a video today where a thief jumped into a house at Ibadan today to steal a pot of soup

DrGoodman:


We control your airport and ours, we run things in the country, how can touts afford airfare

After this seaport, we will be using your and ours at the same time, you can only whine and cry.

rinzaugustine:
that’s the beauty of one Nigeria. If you don’t like their presence in your area you can retaliate by going to Abia or anambra to build a successful life like they are doing instead of complaining day and night

Offpointng:


The Question is, those from that area you mentioned, how many of them made it or is making it there??

There's absolutely anything I'm looking for my SW can't give me. Nothing. You need not wonder why South westerners don't travel outta their Region. Dont blame them, there's actually nothing they're looking for elsewhere.
