President Muhammadu Buhari has given approval for the establishment of seven new industrial parks to support the Nigerian Industrial Revolution plan, an official said on Thursday.

The Acting Managing Director, Nigeria Exports Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), Terhemba Nongo, said the parks would be located in each of the country’s six geo-political zones.

In a media chat on Wednesday, Mr Nongo listed the locations of the parks to include Lekki in Lagos; Makurdi in Benue State; Benin, Edo State; Ilorin, Kwara State; Sokoto; Gombe and Abakiliki in Ebonyi.

He said the Free Trade Zones (FTZs) in Ilorin, Makurdi, and Sokoto are almost completed.

He said the government would be able to attract ‘the right investments’ by the time the infrastructural development, which will soon be provided for the project, is completed.

“Each of the zones would provide a minimum of 50,000 direct jobs for the country, thus giving a total of 350,000 direct jobs for the seven of them. In terms of indirect jobs, the zones can create about one million jobs for the country.

“These new industrial parks in the works would spike infrastructure development and unleash a new wave of job opportunities for our teeming youths. It is worth stressing that with every free zone or industrial park licensing, the door is open for serious infrastructure development,” the Nation quoted Mr Nongo as saying.

Chaiii our eastern governors should embrace PMB like umahi has done.... Okezie biko nu ooooo

This country is so over-centralised! Unless Abuja gives the green-light the regions/states can’t approve and implement critical projects/schemes of their own accord!

President Buhari moving so swiftly. Better days ahead no doubt. #nextlevel

Good move!

While that is so. There are so many competing demands for scares resources available so that the state will have to focus on their road projects, bridges and other infrastructure development.

Nigeria is in severe lack with exploding population.

Watch how yoruba moslems will wail here in order to start ethnic fight.
