Aba city and its environs is an industrial area which
is located in the south eastern part of Nigeria, and also one of the economic
giant of the south eastern Geo-political zone which extends its economic services
to other parts of south-southern states and beyond, but due to some circumstances
which includes neglect, poor funding and maintenance that area has been left behind, but after a
very close observation tour, we met with some people and asked some questions
on how to make that area vibrant again, they pointed out some very key sectors
that the federal and state government should place emphasis on to create employment
for the youths and at the same time boost the Nigerian economy, these sectors
includes.
1)Agro-allied industries- (2) Textiles (3)Industrial minerals (4)plastic
industries (5)chemical industries. Etc ,
But one out of the few companies that would create
jobs and make a positive impact on the Nigerian economy is the sheet glass at International
Glass Industries (IGI) Aba, which if fully in production it will assist the
newly introduced automobile companies In producing auto windscreens, mirrors and
glasses that vary, it will also produce glasses for housing, and also gain
export opportunity
But presently the hollow glass plant produces pharmaceutical
bottles which are been used by some pharmaceutical companies while the sheet
glass is not in production for years, if international glass industries should
start producing sheet glasses today, then Nigerian government will not be spending
huge amount of money in glass importation but earn huge amount of money in
exportation of glass products. A lot of industries need to be revived in Aba to enhance economic
growth,
Making
the right decision will always make things right, please try to think rightly
by making positive inputs towards National growth.
