I never believe you can post this type of thread as an advocate of boycott made in SW good.

Have you seen that the concentration of industries in Lagos and other SW states is not FG policy but it is caused by higher rate of insecurity in the SE compared to SW

jmoore:
Innoson never relocate, na Roxettes of yesterday wan relocate.

Just another fabricated tale from unknown source that doesn't exist.

Roxettes is going no where. Yoruba stop this your propaganda against Igbos, like 24/7, non stop. They have an office with Yoruba workers on pushing Igbo propaganda. My niece was approached last week, they promise to pay her 300k if she made a video claiming that Igbo men are oppressing Igbo women. She refused!

nedu666:
What do they manufacture. Is there insecurity in abia.

Streetinvestor2:
How many companies from North relocated to SW because of insecurity. They keep posting fake news.
For anything I and my type does not consider SW for anything. Infact the SE and SW have no business being in same country

Tochitee:
They are always welcome. But very soon, if they keep on supporting terrorist like kanu, we will stop everyone of them coming to southwest.

chatinent:
I think you mean Lagos not southwest. And you are not even from Lagos but some other place in southwest.

All these mentality you think it's hate against a tribe is just illiteracy plus the political game infused into you by your leaders who don't rate you.

And no one can stop anyone from living anywhere...even the demolition scheme won't work.

By the way, I'm from Lagos before you bring in those unrated arguments.

Bye.

Hey! STOP that LIE and divisive rant spewing from your mouth! You should be ashamed of yourself for posting disinformation and gaslighting the Yoruba folks over a story that was published by a credible economic and business news outlets.

In case you don't know, the founder/CEO of the popular Nairametrics is Ugodre and he's an Ibo guy who I follow on IG and YouTube. That's the source of the original Nairametrics article right BELOW. The OP of this thread is ALSO an Ibo person who has been an ipob secessionist sympathizer in the recent past. Period.

Roxettes Group is considering the relocation of its automotive plant, paint and chemical subsidiaries, and other operations from the Southeast to Lagos.

Sources close to the company’s management confirmed this to Nairametrics on Saturday.

The group’s subsidiaries include Roxettes Motors (automotive assembly), Roxettes Chemical Industries Ltd, and RoxyCarb (paint and raw materials), all currently based in Abia and Enugu States.


The move comes amid reported persistent logistics bottlenecks, rising freight costs, recurring sit-at-home exercises, and broader security disruptions in the Southeast, which have slowed production and disrupted supply chains.

The potential move is expected to place the facilities in Lagos, near seaports, financial institutions, and export infrastructure, though discussions remain at a preliminary stage.

“The discussions are still at a feasibility stage, but management is increasingly concerned about the cumulative impact of port congestion, logistical inefficiencies, restricted working days, and security challenges across the Southeast on sustained industrial operations,” one of the sources told Nairametrics.


Consultations with investors
Although the Chairman/CEO, Dr. Kaycee Orji, has not publicly confirmed the plans, consultations with international investors and technical partners are understood to be ongoing.

Nairametrics understands that the review covers the Roxettes Motors assembly plant in Obuaku, Abia State, as well as its paint and raw materials subsidiaries in Enugu State.

The sources also indicated there is uncertainty over the imported CNG production and processing equipment, originally meant for installation at the Obuaku Industrial Zone in Abia State.

They are unsure if this will remain in the Southeast or be redirected to Lagos.

The potential relocation is also expected to affect the group’s chemical and paint subsidiaries, which currently operate in Enugu State and supply essential inputs to Nigeria’s automotive and manufacturing industries.

What you should know

In recent years, some businesses have reportedly left the Southeast due to insecurity and operational challenges.

For example, in a 2024 interview with BBC Igbo, businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, revealed why he moved his business interests from the Southeast.

He explained that the fear of kidnapping and attacks had driven away customers from the region, prompting him to relocate. He now operates various businesses, including clubs, restaurants, and other interests.
Reported cases of kidnapping, along with recurring sit-at-home exercises, are believed to have at times disrupted business operations in parts of the Southeast, posing challenges for some entrepreneurs and affecting regular commercial activity.

Irony1:
Bros this is just another fake news and misinformation agenda. Nairametrics has for sometime been acting as PR for government news

Armaggedon:
Nobody is begging anybody. You don't need to "mull", just move to Lagos already, we'll hear the stories later.

Before you embarrass yourself, post your birth certificate and blur the essentials and I'll post mine.

You aren't even from Lagos. You can be from Ondo or Ogun.. whichever is not bad.. but stop claiming Lagos! Abeokuta is not Lagos!

My last post to you forever if you won't take up the challenge and post your birth certificate.
