Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has praised the Abuja Industrial Park, currently under development by Zeberced Group, as a “mind-boggling” project that will significantly boost Nigeria’s economy and create 40,000 jobs.
During a site visit, Wike expressed excitement and optimism about the project’s potential, describing it as a “wonderland” that will attract businesses due to its stable power supply and Free Zone status.
He commended the company’s commitment to completing the project and expanding the access road, assuring continued support from the FCT Administration, according to Nigerian Tribune.
Wike emphasized the project’s importance in growing the economy, creating employment, and developing the Idu District, stating that it aligns with the government’s goals and deserves necessary support.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’ve never seen this in the entire country. This is the first time I am seeing this.
“Some people have been conceptualising industrial parks, but from what I’m seeing here, this is to me a wonderland and we commend them,” he said.
He plans to brief President Bola Tinubu on the project’s progress, highlighting its potential as a game-changer for Nigeria’s economy.
“From what the Managing Director of the company, Mr Adil Kurt said, the park is going to create not less than 40,000 direct employments and that is huge.
“There is no government that will not support this kind of investment.
“Having gone around, we can attest to the fact that this is really what we need to grow our economy. You can imagine how the whole of Idu will be developed.
“This is what every government craves for, and we must give them the necessary support,” he added.
