Rivers New Industrial Hub: Abe’s Idea To Unleash Enterpreurship, Industrialization And Prosperity
The first campaign promise of Senator Magnus Abe, Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) is to build a new, well-planned and modern industrial hub in Rivers State to ignite an era of increased entrepreneurship, industrialization and prosperity for all Rivers people and the business community.
The policy will be a deliberate and well thought-out, well-planned and well-executed state policy to revive industrialization and entrepreneurship in Rivers State in order to create a wave of prosperity that will strengthen economic stability of the state.
The new industrial hub will be fitted with all the accoutrements of the possibilities that ICT offers in order to create unmatchable advantages for companies and industries in Rivers State.
You will recall that that the old Trans-Amadi Industrial Layout in Rivers State was built by then Premier of Eastern Region when Nigeria was operating regionalism and Rivers State was part of the Eastern Region.
To give credit to the initiators, the Trans-Amadi Industrial Layout helped boost the industrial capacity of Rivers State with many companies trooping into the area with concomitant employment for Rivers people.
Unfortunately, successive governments in Rivers State did nothing to improve the business climate in the area and today, the place is a shadow of itself, with many companies migrating to better business climates in other states.
All that will change, however, with Abe’s original idea to build a new industrial hub fitted with 21st century facilities to facilitate business growth and massive industrialization.
With Abe’s promise to create conducive atmosphere for business, we can hope that companies and businesses will come into the state and create prosperity even more than we used to have in Rivers State of old.
That is why all eligible voters should vote for Senator Magnus Abe of the SDP to build a society of which all of us will be proud.
