A South Korean firm, Kumbit Global Limited, KGL, is set to partner with Akwa Ibom State Government to develop an industrial park in Oruk Anam council area of the state.
Anietie John, chairman and managing director, KGL said at a stakeholder’s meeting in Uyo, the state capital that the industrial park would engage hundreds of youths in agro-allied businesses and the manufacturing sector.
“This Kumbit Ibom industrial park project is the first-of-its-kind in Nigeria; a consortium of mega factories domiciled in one park with amenities ranging from recreational facilities, hostels, hotels, schools, clinics, shopping malls, power plant, estates, for expatriates and Nigerian workers. It is time for Akwa Ibom State to evolve from a civil service state to a productive entity producing high net-worth products,’’ he said.
John lamented the slow progress in its actualisation and reiterated the need for stakeholders in the state to come together to assist in the industrial development of the state and commended the Akwa Ibom State Government for facilitating the establishment of the industrial hub in the area, describing it as a mega project.
He, however, pleaded with the state government and other stakeholders to support the vision of industrialists to fast-track the industrialisation of the state.
