Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has assured that the first ever Abia State Industrial Policy document will serve as a catalyst that will drive industrial revolution of Nigeria from Abia State.

The Governor gave the assurance during the presentation of the Abia State Industrial Policy Document by the ECOWAS Representative of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Mr. Jean Bakole at the Government House, Umuahia.

He said that his administration will study the document closely and directed the State Commissioner for Industry, Promotion and Development to set up a team of professionals that would explain the policy to the State Executive Council with a view to convoking a stakeholders meeting in the industrial sector for the official presentation of the policy to the public.

Dr. Ikpeazu said the Abia State Industrial Policy Document is the 3rd of such documents developed by his government, noting that before 2015, Abia State had no Long Term Development Plan and Master Plan for Aba, Umuahia and Ohafia. According to him, lack of understanding of basic issues around problems government seeks to solve is the bane of development in government organisations. He informed that he was proud that at the end of his tenure next year, he would be handing over to Abians two industries, including ENASCO and the Garment Factory, adding that under his administration Abia has become the SME capital of Nigeria and has continued to excel in SME development.

in formulating the document for the State and said that the document will prove that Abia is moving forward in industrial development.. She stated that the document will now be brought before the State Assembly for passage into Law.
