Benin Enterprise Park: Obaseki seals $200m investment for textile industry
by Mustapha Temidayo — 5 hours ago
In furtherance to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) concerted efforts to revive Nigeria’s ailing Cotton, Textile and Garment (CTG) sub-sector, Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki has secured a $200m investment for a cotton-weaving and spinning industry at the Benin Enterprise and Industrial Park, in Sapele road axis of Benin City.
Governor Obaseki, who said this during the maiden convocation ceremony of the Edo University Iyamho, said the CBN has been instrumental to the economic growth being recorded in the state, especially in the areas of industrialisation and agriculture.
The governor said a $200 million deal has been struck with a reputable, world-renowned textile company to establish a cotton-weaving and spinning industry at the Benin Enterprise and Industrial Park, where construction is expected to begin next year.
Obaseki said the initiative was in line with the CBN’s plans to revamp the textile industry in the country with a view to reducing importation of textile.

Noting that the state government was promoting investment and real growth in the agricultural sector so as to get people out of poverty, he said the CBN’s N5bn Commercial Agriculture Credit scheme in the state has led to employment of about 5,000 people and cultivation of 5,000 hectares.
He, however, advised that the CBN’s monetary policies be followed up with robust fiscal policies, especially infrastructural development to ease the movement of locally produced goods and services.
He commended the CBN for having a specialized window to support the entertainment and tourism industry, adding that Edo state is solidly behind the apex bank’s policies.
The CBN governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele said that the apex bank’s unconventional monetary policies have yielded positive results, helping to stabilize the Nigerian economy.
According to Emefiele, “the favourable outcomes and strengthening outlook of the Nigerian economy is traceable to the timeous adoption of unconventional monetary policy tools. The CBN has been able to reduce inflation, build our forex reserves and maintain forex market stability and foster real growth.

You're completely wrong, fact is that projections implies that we double Tanzanias GDP and we'll surpass that of Morocco by then

tylann:
Ethiopia surpassed us around 2016 and we surpassed them again in 2018
Tanzania will never surpass us
They could have surpassed us Long time but they didn't now they can't and will never will

It is not only rice even some of the rice is grown in Benin Republic. Onions tomatoes cucumbers carrots potatoes all of these are grown in Benin Republic and sent to South West Nigeria. Since the border closure the price of onions has skyrocketed by 50%. Benin Republic was just dumping its tomatoes in Nigeria

Even though you're more underdeveloped, your life expectancy is 15 years shorter than Kenya, 53yrs Nigeria - 67yrs Kenya. Your poverty rate percentage doubles Kenya, Nigeria 75%_Kenya 33%...we can go on and on and compare....to literacy, electricity, child mortality rate...(HDI)

We play hard, we party hard, we Kenyan are incredibly hardworking.Nigerian got nothing on us.School kids sleep late and by 5 am they are in class.Most Nairobeans are up by 4 am during the work week.We pride ourselves for working hard unlike say lazy Tanzanians.We work hard, fast and smart.I remember those Airtel Africa Quiz..Ibandan University would be last to fell down by Kenyan universities

rvp2018:
South Africa has 45,000mw or 30,000mw..and about 100 big minning & manufacturing consume 80% of that.In Kenya 600 companies consume 60% of power.If you're not into minning and heavy manufacturing you don't need lots of power

rvp2018:
it made news and got resolved quickly.. blackout I would call the deliberate power cuts or rationing

rvp2018:
Outside minning and some manufacturing you don't need lots of power to light your house.We don't do any minning.

MiddleDimension:
my dear, there is no way a country with 51m people, generating just about 1000mw of electricity a day, can have 24/7 electricity supply, never! tell that to those who are ignorant.

unless you have zero factories; because i know how much power those big machines take, you can never have power 24/7. as it stands, we generate more than you do, and we still have higher installed capacity than you do have

rvp2018:
Last blackout happened in 2001..we have occasional brownouts..not enough to buy a generator

rvp2018:
We are not complaining.We are not zoo.Major reason Nigeria migrate to Kenya is to enjoy electricity and internet...basic you can fix in the zoo.
