THE Minister of Trade and Investment, Mr Olusegun Aganga, has said Anambra State has a fundamental role in the notational industrial revolution plan of the country

Mr Aganga said this when he paid a visit to Governor Peter Obi at the Government House, Awka, on Tuesday.


Mr Aganga said the state was a major player in industrial and enterprise development.


He disclosed that a recent survey by the National Bureau of Statistics revealed that the state had the highest number of small and medium scale enterprises, and was leading in four industrial sectors, including the automobile sector.


The Minister extolled Governor Obi for championing the patronage of 'Made in Nigeria' goods and encouraging and empowering industrialists and embarking on massive infrastructural development in industrial areas.


Mr Aganga said the Federal Government would work closely with Governor Obi and industrialists in the state to fast-track industrial growth and development, while commending the Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Company for the giant strides recorded so far.


He explained that the Federal Government was reversing the trend of exporting raw materials and importing finished products by repositioning and strengthening the manufacturing sector and focusing on areas of competitive and comparative advantage.


Responding, Governor Obi called for a ban on the importation of cables and other products which were also produced in Nigeria to protect local industries and encourage them to grow

He disclosed that a recent survey by the National Bureau of Statistics revealed that the state had the highest number of small and medium scale enterprises, and was leading in four industrial sectors, including the automobile sector.

And where is that Abagworo that was arguing in another thread that Aba has the highest.

So where are those olofofo Igbo haters and El-Rufai wannabe's who stated that Anabmra has the highest rate of un-employment

First, It was the President (an unbiased Ijaw man)who alerted that Anambra is the "Brain Box" of Nigeria

The Statistician General of the Federation, Dr. Yemi Kale ( a Yoruba) further rebuffed El-Rufai by stating rather that Anambra is - as a matter of fact one of the leading states in terms of employment. This was backed by another high ranking Federal Government Official, Minister & Chairman of National Planning Commission in the person of Dr. Shamsuddeen Usman (an Hausa)

Most of Made in Nigeria cables, autoparts, plastics, roofing sheets and paints come from Anambra. Lagos is mostly large scale industries.

Autoparts are mostly in Nnewi, the rest are in Onitsha.

@ Obiagu1: Just being curious. Where do they get the raw materials from?

i now believe

Didier King: @ Obiagu1: Just being curious. Where do they get the raw materials from?

raw material! Nigeria dont have raw material again?
those guys are too productive!

Ndata:

And where is that Abagworo that was arguing in another thread that Aba has the highest.

Did he actually argue? Never mentioned State and enterprises but town and industries. I think they differ. Even many of the industries in Aba, Otta or Lagos is owned by Anambra indigenes , so I wasn't implying none of your insinuations.

Didn't even know Anambra has the highest. number of SME in Nigeria, so proud.

i think what anambra is lacking is large scale industries.

This is what we should be encouraging in Naija cos we can do better than most foreign nations think,especially with govt backing us in making our market internationally acclaimed. Lets build Naija together and not tear ourselves apart.Welcome development.

I'm wondering why a thread like this hasn't made it to the front page.When industrialization of the country is one of the main target of GEJ administration.

Front page please

Yeske!:
Front page please

for where? U wan make people praise obi(an igbo governor)? They're hiding any potential igbo governor that'll stand their yoruba counterparts in presidential race. The thread about t.a orji didn't waste time before it got to front page cos they want the world to know igbos with negativity.

asha 80: i think what anambra is lacking is large scale industries.

anambra is not lacking in large scale industries , its is second after lagos in that aspect .
