Aba was designed for Industrialization in view with the following facilities. Rail line can be connected to any factory. Liquidified gas pipes lines for cheap production of goods is every where if you want to connect. Underground high Voltage Lines that cannot be damaged by vandals Middlemen as agents to distribute products or goods produced. Good network of roads in these Industrial Areas that are taken care of though by these companies. Aba also has a consumer market. The town may be compacted but the population is far higher than what is manipulated in census, in Aba 10 people can be sleeping in one room in some cases and all of them are productive. In the sense that if they are peeling melon, it is definitely for export to Ghana or Cameroon. Aba is industrialize and commercialized because the British designed it as such. 1 Like |

Onitsha takes the cake anytime anyday. Am sure with the coming on board of the Onitsha Port Facility, its only Lagos that will side by side with that city. Onitsha is the only Nigerian city that witnessed millions of foreign and local visitors on daily basis for economic purposes. Am yet to see any new development in aba, but everyday investors are trooping to Onitsha setting up huge investments that runs into billions, just like Sabmiller, Emzor, Juhel and Orange drugs etc are presently doing. |

Lagos would have taken it if not for the clause 'non state capital' cos industry and commercial activities going on in lagos is equal or more than the entire country in capacity. Then the lot goes to onitsha and aba. It may be a very big task to decide btw the 2. Aba is a bit higher in manufacturing ind. yet onitsha is far more commercialised than aba 1 Like |

Mr. Globe:see how you came to the internet to disgrace your whole generation Mix up one or two but when you are "mixing up" like 5, Dont you see that its your lack of education and common sense? Instead of getting yourself educated you prefer to sell fake drugs in Alaba No wonder you think Chicago is the capital of Illinois bloody Illiterate. You dont live in those cities? what a useless excuse. Its not surprising you are the way. So in your retardeed world you have to live somewhere before you make research about it?

Onitsha is definitely more commercialised than Aba. Presently to say which is more industralised may be controversial. However, with the current influx of manufacterers to Osha and the setback suffered by Aba during the "kidnap" saga, i"ll go with Osha. Aba is also completed neglected by govt. Lagos (not Ikeja) was the former capital of Nigeria and shld be left out of this. If i get the OP right the idea is for govt to spread allocation more evenly and encourage other towns aside the capital to develop. Other aforementioned towns apart from Nnewi and warri have a long way to go. |

Mr. Globe:Aba is the most industrialised non state capital in Nigeria, it has both large, medium and small scale industries scattered across d city, they include; Nigeria breweries, dubic brewery, unilever plc, International glass industries, International equitable association, valeumbra floor mills, starline industries, Udeagbala holdings, 7up plant, Tonimas lube plant, many large vegetable oil industries, paper mills and many others i cant mention here because of space( all of d above are stil function'n and employs above 500 direct workers) and thousands of SME's scattered all over d city. Aba is in a class of its own whn it comes to non state capital and only comes behind Lagos n Kano generally. |

"Premier Breweries, Onitsha, Anambra State, has also witnessed a touch of transformation from its decay with signs that it would commence operations by the end of February 2012, after 12 years in the doldrums. The signs include new potable water and sealing machines and two refurbished production lines. The company which used to be the largest brewery operating from a point at 1.6 million hl per annum as at 2006 has been witnessing a turnaround when Odyssey West Africa, an American investment firm, emerged a major shareholder having acquired stakes of Claus Bongard, former German investors." http://www.tellng.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=1095:moribund-companies-on-the-rebound&Itemid=125&tmpl=component&print=1 |
