Sen. John Enoh, Minister of State for Industry, is set to begin a three-day industrial tour across Lagos and Ogun states to support the nation’s industrialisation agenda in line with President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
The minister, in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos, said the industrial tour is scheduled for Feb. 12 and Feb. 13.
Enoh explained that the tour aims to strengthen collaboration between government and industry stakeholders and would simultaneously address challenges and opportunities in Nigeria’s industrial landscape.
He noted that the tour would serve as a catalyst to promote industrial growth, foster innovation, and support the private sector, known as key drivers of economic development.
“During the tour, the minister will pay official visits to the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his Ogun State counterpart, Mr Dapo Abiodun, while inspecting select industries in their states.
“Some of the industries to be visited includes Sunflag Nigeria Ltd., GB Foods, Friesland Campina Nigeria Plc, Berger Paints, Mojec International Ltd., Coleman Wire & Cable, Equipment and Protective Application International Ltd.(EPAIL) and Veenocks Tiles,” he said.
Enoh said that the tour, part of the plan for industrial revolution agenda of the current administration, is also in line with his six key priorities.
They are: Nigeria Automotive Industry Development Plan (NAIDP), Special Agro-Processing Zones (SAPZ), Cotton, Textiles and Garments (CTG) Industry.
Others are: Petrochemical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Census and Industrial Revolution Work Group (IRWG).
