Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- The Enyimba Economic City is Nigeria's biggest manufacturing hub in Eastern Nigeria. Located in Owaza, Abia State. The Enyimba Economic City covers 9, 462 Hectares of land space. It is designated as Special Economic Zone.
The Enyimba Economic City has 5 different districts ranging from, Central Business District, the health wellness city, and the Knowledge and innovation district. Industrial township and logistic district, Residential smart township, and Entertainment and recreational district which will be like Disney land.
The Enyimba Economic City will have a dedicated Airport and inland port that is linked to seaports in Onne, Port Harcourt, and Akwa Ibom.
625,000 jobs are expected to be created through the Enyimba Economic City Project.
Chinese Textile company Shandong Ruyi is also partnering with the Nigerian government on the Enyimba Economic City.
This project will also have an impact on Aba, Port Harcourt, and other neighboring towns.

I must say your videos are well constructed and filmed to a high standard.
Very interesting to see the creation of jobs on a large scale. This what Africa needs.
* I like how you respond to the individual that always posts negative comments.
It's not easy to remain calm.
🤣🤣🤣 I have to respect everyone's oppinion. Once again thank you Truezlady for watching and always commenting I appreciate it. Do have a lovely weekend 😊
@@DavidNkwa
Thanks, you too 😊
I am doing fasting and prayer for this project to come to pass. This is exactly what the South East needs
You are right
I am joining you to fast and pray for this project to become a reality. Our people need this kind of development so badly
I wish Nigeria would fix the infrastructure and corruption. You can build and build but those basics will hold the evolution of Nigeria back.
Security, security security. Nigeria seriously needs to tackle security for any of all these wonderful projects to fully work as desired.
U can tackle that if their is no jobs, more jobs for graduates less crime
Funding for the city was secured last quarter of 2021 from African development bank, construction will begin in March 2022,
Nigeria signs US $430m deal for Enyimba Economic City project - Construction Review
15 Aug 2021 - The government of Nigeria has signed US $430m deal with African Development Bank (AfDB for the development of Enyimba Economic City
what is 430$million? It is a drop in the ocean Toki !! this needs billions my friend to come to realisation .
That's for starters
Dalu nwa Nne! Great job. Keep it up.👍✌️❤️
Nice video doh
This is nice, i would love a new video on the state of this project now, taking into consideration of the current active state of the governor. Welldone and thanks for the video.
This Will Be Really Great....Nice Documentary Also💪
Yes, I am very familiar with this project. Somebody from Nigeria contacted me through email and I am now heavily invested in this project :) :)
Just kidding. I wish Nigeria the best in their quest to develop their country, and hope they will increase co-operation with Turkey.
Thanks Turcoboshnak
More of this type of documentary, good job
I love this video
THIS PROJECT IS A GOOD ONE. 👍
Yes it is.. thanks for watching and commenting
Kudos bro 🙌🏿! This is such a great documentary. Well researched and narrated. I pray also so for the success of this project that has the potential to generate more than 500,000 jobs.
As long as they don't turn it into another Abuja with just highrise buildings but focus on manufacturing I think it will come to fruition. This is a good idea and I wish the developers all the best.
Building height is not a measurement for development. Nairobi, Mexico City, etc have far more taller buildings than Stockholm yet the latter is light years more developed than the former two.
@@shangothunder1055 ....So far in all the plans I have seen coming from Nigerian States, highrise buildings seems to be the norm which I detest.
You are right about highrise buildings.
I saw something like this coming after. Fantastic
Great content, keep it up👍👍👍
Thank you
Enough of using the word "if" for this project, it will surely succeed by His Grace. Skepticism takes us to no where, we all just need to play our own parts of the bigger roles to make it a worthwhile venture. If Ocean City, Dangote Refinery are Innoson Motors are already succeeding, this will surely become a reality. The dark ages are over in Africa as Nigeria is positioning itself to give the desired leadership to our beloved continent.
Exactly
i hope you are right we shall see.
If this comes to pass, especially as presented. It will be nice. Just that road between Onne, Eleme junction and Aba as well as standard rail link will be very vital to the success of this very free zone
True
I pray to God Nigerians government put 90% Effort in technology (fabrication) God let everything be fulfill
Amen
Wish they could have a Sports Science facility in that city would be great for the youths and the next Generation
Este important pentru crearea noilor locuri de munca, că oamenii să și poată întreține existenta, de zi cu zi și pentru un trai mai decent, e foarte important. 🙏🙏🙏
I hope this really happens, would be a huge employer of many
I love people that dream
me too na joseph the second
This will awesome. Most Liberians travel to Nigeria( 1hr flgt) to shop ( for products instead of going to China(.. Wonderful l. We welcome this game changer
Great content!
I’d like to know more about this and probably on how to get shares etc.
Awesome, will provide updates when the need arises
Maybe the project could rival Bangladesh, not sure about rivalling China. Other countries ahead of us are Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia etc etc. who are all off sure manufacturing hubs serving the NAFTA and EU trading blocks.
' Nigeria biggest manufacturing hub that will rival china ' Nigerians like sweet talk. What will never happen
You don't have hope
I’m always a little skeptical of any projects in Africa due to the politics and a tendency to put the cart in front of the horse, but I think this has a very good chance of coming to fruition and succeeding! May not end up looking like the architectural renderings exactly but if it’s close that will be great for the Nigerian people!
Corporations are always looking for the cheapest locations in which to manufacture but moving to another location is a huge expense that goes beyond wages for corporations seeking cheaper labor. First, a country needs to be politically stable. No country is going to invest hundreds of millions on a new manufacturing site if they think the risk of political turmoil (in any of it forms) will halt or interrupt production. Second, by having a designated area with its own power and water grid/supply is a must to insure uninterrupted production. Third, finished goods need to be able to be moved cheaply and quickly. By having rail, a port and an airport nearby should allow this. I’m glad to see a university is also included in the plan. This should provide these companies with good minds to hopefully allow more complex manufacturing and better paying manufacturing jobs down the road and will be a great source of hands on/ real world learning for students. Also glad to see a “green area”. Manufacturing jobs are drudgery and providing some nice recreational areas for its workers to enjoy their limited free time is vital. It doesn’t need to be Disneyland. It’s just needs to be something like Central Park is to NYC…a place for all people to escape and not just for managers or executives. A hospital is a good idea too. workers will know it’s not just a job but a job with better healthcare and hopefully such a project will eliminated some of the brain drain and keep Drs and engineers in Nigeria. This site should not only bring jobs but it will bring more jobs to the ports and airport and lots of small business to support the workers. As workers become more proficient they may open their own businesses and this is basically how capitalism starts. I hope for Nigeria this project exceeds expectations and glad to see that the politicians are playing a limited role!
Very true. Well said Martin
I think it might have worked better to create existing industrial cities such as Aba , Owerri, Umuahia into the actual free trade zone and to expand rather than build a new city from scratch. The industries are already there so they just need to be given more robust infrastructure to support their growth. My only fear is that it ends up a white elephant project due to shortage of funds, hopefully that won’t happen but it would be less expensive and more sensible to develop and integrate the existing industrial and commercial centres into a free trade zone and use the funding to develop their infrastructure. That’s what China did. In order to compete and rival hong Kongo China turned the neighbouring city of Shenzhen into a free trade manufacturing hub and gave it the competitive advantage of being cheaper than Hong Kong, soon many Hong Kong businesses began to relocate there and that’s how shenzhen became a mega successful world class manufacturing hub. Aba in particular is in a very good position to play the same role as Shenzhen did to Hong Kong. In this case it will be to Port Harcourt.
Great recommendation, but it is private investment, not government. hence the reason for siting it in a new location. However if the government has developed infrastructure in Aba, no part of Nigeria would have been able to rival it today interns if commerce
@@DavidNkwa True. I have always said I would turn the east to a full time manufacturing zone if I had the power and authority to. Good to know those currently in power have the same foresight.
Exactly.
This would make Southeastern Nigeria a true world powerhouse if this comes to fruition. If leaders could just get together and understand how this could improve the betterment of everyday Naija people with jobs for many it would truly be a great achievement. Nice one again my brother David. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽👍🏽❤❤
You are right. We hope for it to happen,

As an African American Man I feel good about this project

This guy videos is very interesting,
Thank you
Good idea, but can they delivered. Its easy to have a vision, but to make it work, is di problem. Good luck to them.
Nnaa ina-agbali well well! 👏
Dalau
that is a big lf isnt it.....goodluck....cheers
In short, no time soon!!!!
Please get rid of that noise at the beginning of the video. It's super irritating. Otherwise, nice video.
Yoruba nation you Nigeria go on yoruba nation will build their own nation
I am praying for no military intervention as in Mali,Niger,Bukino Faso. This will set us back and stop all these development.
I am not enthusiastic about this but I pray God it works.
Hopefully
lol...lol to rival China......that is a funny one.
I pray it comes to pass
Nigeria ns are the smartest people in the world
Could you please give us the latest update of this project 🙏?
Nigeria should do like Dubai / put the money and people behind hospitality and leisure. Development of the people is one of the key.
But obviously with a big project like that.
It will benefit far more people. And those hospitality and leisure will come with it.
And what leisure are you referring to. too much leisure is not good .
What about the security project and what are the good profit from this
Invest in EE city now , some companies are moving in now
The idea is great but materializing it is the key. Insecurity, tribalism, religious issues are to battle with.
Just political will needed.
The last hope for Nigeria has to come from the east.... Eko. Atlantic city and now this.... In 20yrs time this can be a reality.. All igbos.. Should get on board with this.. Whether biafra.. Or not
Lovely
How is it going now
Audio project
well you have to secure long term deals with your market before you start building your manufacturing hub,
That's happening too. Thank you for watching
This is suppose to be a good news but haven realize that we are talking about it locating in a State that its Gov. is unable to finish a flyover for almost 8yrs now, I wonder how it will end. All the previous governor of that State, starting from Orji Uzor Kalu, has been a curse, they totally abandon or neglected Aba. No road, infrastructure and dedicated electricity that would have turn that place into manufacturing power hub, that would have rival China, Vietnam etc. In fact, the resilience of the people to strive without all the necessary support from the State ( or Federal) that baffle me and it goes to show what what would have been if there was any or little support!
I hope and pray that this turn into fruition ....
Well said my friend. We hope this succeed since it's private sector lead
Why not sort out lights and security first
so will city be in one nigeria or what happens when nigerian splits up as people want it to do
Any construction updates
Ground breaking will hold this first quarter hopefully
Is this to make the people rich or cheap Labor them
Bro im Nigerian I’m China watching this video,do you know what you are talking about when you say they wil rival with China by these project that will be done and in partnership with China, to be honest China is very far from what you imagine and that happened because they have a good leadership and government that is really working hard
You are right.
This may not completely rival China, but if it is done well, a big chunk will be taken from China, especially industries that are into light manufacturing, not the heavy ones.
Thank you for watching.
Am curious to know how you found this video. By CZcams recommendation?
@@DavidNkwa yes CZcams recommendation , keep giving us update you just gained a follower
Thank you. I will
Exactly, egypt is finally doing what china did, and look at egypt it's currently building 20 new cities and a new capital city and its also within the past few years nearly completed one of them, Nigeria only has one new City near Lagos which they've been building for 20 years and the other projects are just them. selling. Hopes and dreams
African countries target atleast 9 or 10 percent... Africa also needs to have a strong foothold in space Cultural influence learn from Brazil... IQ development
The video is good but the high pitched sound in the beginning of the video is annoying 🤷
Feedback acknowledged
This is more of a hypothesis.
They have been planning for over 20 years not even 1/4 has been done. Eko Atlantic City is 47% completed. The new airport, seaport is almost ready
Far too small to rival China but can significantly create an economic ripple effect in the sub region. 🤔💭But first we need electricity and security. Also we need most of all, Sustained Political will, st the state and federal level. Hopefully, it won’t collapse like Tinapa.
Let's watch and see
If ABA had maintained its manufacturing momentum without Nigerian economic policies disrupting the growth so it's not under statement that it cant rival any existing global market
What of sports
This Enyimba project city will succeed because PDP that has held the state and other states hostage has been rescued by the defeat of party by the Labour party. To God be the glory
David cn you tag the new governor Mr Alex otti maybe he will like it
Most definitely
Am sure he is already aware of the project. he lives in Abia
bro any update on the project
nothing is happening there
I would have been very happy if Chinese investors are involved with this project.
Great development
They are
Why?
Why not those living in diaspora; whether those originally from Nigeria or other African countries like what the African Diaspora Development Initiative(ADDI) that is been spearheaded by Dr. Arikana Chihomboli and HER team
Chinese investment usually ends up being a political investment vs economic investment for hidden agendas.
“Dubbed to become the first business hub”. Remember we equally have self existing cities in the mould of EEC like the Eko Atlantic City and the Lekki Free Trade Zone There is equally another one in Kenya and Ghana too.
Manufacturing Hub. not Business hub. Also the magnitude will be the difference.
@@DavidNkwa I’m not against you. I merely quoted and corrected you if you noticed. The Lekki Free Trade Zone is a Manufacturing Zone with its own laws, university, airport, stadia etc to name a few and its twice the size of the Enyimba City at 16,500 hectares. Just saying.
👍👍
Nigeria security?
Audio project. I don't have confidence in those behind it to deliver. Where are the timelines for delivery? Same old power point city.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have some faith 🤣
@@DavidNkwa I wish. Nigerian elites especially our Igbo ones are " all talk; no action."
This looks different, since its private sector driven, it may work
The funding?
Atleast its a foot forward to let us know they know exactly what do if they want to.
I don't want to be rude but if you think just with one economic hub (or even 10) you can rival China it means you have no idea of the scale of the industrial machine China has become. Just to give you an idea : China each year manufactures nearly 25 millions cars, the second country in car manufacturing is the US with about 10 millions. Not knowing you position in the food chain is not a good start.
You have a point. 1 or 10 economic hubs in Nigeria may not rival China, but if 10 of the big manafacturing companies in China right now decide to manufacture in Nigeria, because if better policy and profit, it's such a rival to me.
Thank you for watching and commenting appreciate it
why would they(companies) shift from china to nigeria?
Maybe cheaper labor, closer market distribution, etc
Please let us know when you woke up from your dream
😂😂😂😂 calm down
In the last 20 years there have tons of these types of presentations. The only 2 that have had anything done is eko Atlantic and Lagos FTZ and neither is what was promised. With it's young population, Nigeria needs to first solve it's human capital problem. Companies educated qualified workers. That should be the focus. All these will happen once that is in place
Another perspective. However if these works thousands of youth wil be taken off the street
@@DavidNkwa Yes, but it's impractical to have these many "largest in the world" or Dubia-tyoe projects which is why they fail or fall significantly short. The aim should be to provide the runway for private investors through infrastructure, then these things will fall in place based on viability. A place with 1 million people, for instance, will never be more viable than a place with 20 million unless it has more talented human resources. So scaling appropriately and solving for skilled labor deficits are the most crucial component. Also no one is going to give you money to build a 10-storey house if you have not shown you can build a one-storey house so these marketing displays are laughable.
The system in place will not allow such project to work but I’m waiting for the project to manifest anyway
To be honest and sincere,this project will not come to pass I have seen and heard about many projects like this in Nigeria but none of them didn't exist till tomorrow... The Centenary city in Abuja how far ? The Greater Port Harcourt City how far ? Then now this...
Wishful thinking! It is the base of all Nigerians bragging! We are braggarts in this country.
Did you actually watch this video?
Because if you do, then you should see there is no bragging here.
This could happen and if do, alot of lives will change

How could you conceptualize an entire state as a megatropolis just because some cities in the state are expanding? It's a misnomer to begin with. It makes no sense. So you foresee Onitsha swallowing up Nnewi and Awka. Certainly not in this lifetime. That's a pipe dream more in the realm of hallucination or fantasia than possibility or even probability. By the way,,
what name will the city take? Anambra megatropolis?
Yoroba are building Eko Atlantic City
Igbo Eyimba Economic City
Hausa what are you building ..... ?
Kano

What is in Kano , when we are talking or hubs
How much you pay for a box truck in Nigeria??
Depends on the load and distance
@@DavidNkwa Sorry. I'm mean how much to purchase a box truck for owner ship to create your own logistics company??
Alright depending on the type of truck, ranges from 4-40, million naira
We've heard it all before! Funding and all! The day "majority" our people stop being corrupt and selfish is the day things like this will be believable! Otherwise....abeg, abeg, abegi! Make you go sit down somewhere!
If Lagos couldn't do it...why would a state in the South East
R u kidding me ?? have u ever been to Nigeria? Rival with China?
🤔🤔 follow our Northern and Eastern Nigeria Doc Series Here: rb.gy/zfcsy6 and rb.gy/mdz3fx
Only on paper. Check out Kano economic city and you would know how much empty noice they have been making.
who has been making, Kano or Abia?
Pointless to dream about such till there is no running water, constant power supply, good roads between cities , waste and sewage water treatment plans, efficient railways and a lot else basic stuff. Before develop such dream sort out the debts (mentioned above) . Peace ✌️
Igbos are not ready to develop their own
true!
People, please do not be so negative. In reality, this sort of project is something a good governor alone can initiate if they weren't too corrupt. It's unfortunate that series of iti bolibo governors in Abia state have destroyed our Taiwan, Aba. Their counterparts in Anambra equally neglected Onicha and Nnewi. However, the greatest shame is on us all, for allowing them the opportunity to do what they've done and gotten away with it.
Well said
Exactly
If only our foolish South East Governors had a good vision and love for their region Igboland, they will join hands to make this a reality. The richest countries are not the commodity sellers but the manufacturing countries. China, Germany, Vietnam, Singapore, Isreal, Switzerland etc have no oil. Manufacturing is the game changer of an economy. One was busy building statues...
Nice vision but I'm sure corruption won't allow it have future..... So, just enjoy the imaginary vision
Nigeria will be better than. China was quit call nigeria china
Africa,do dont just talk
One economic city to rival china? 😂😂😂😂😂😂you people are funny.😂😂
What you forget it’s really the Chinese money the money is not coming from Nigeria so at the end of the day who really owns it y’all have to really learn to follow the paper and money trail or y’all will forever be behind
Hello Gail, the Money is not coming from China. If you watched the documentary, I said Chinese company is coming to setup a base there, not that the money is coming from them. Thanks for watching.
@@DavidNkwa Y’all have not had money for 500 years and more so all of a sudden this money is coming in when you people are struggling make that make sense
Let me help you non-Nigerians, this is all talk, it will never happen, welcome to Nigeria's reality.
This is what we call paper propaganda. Abia is the most run down deplorable managed of all the Igbo states.
Yes Abia have not had the best leaders, we all know that. But this project is private sector lead and not govt.
We pray we make it in Jesus name.
It's easy. Those prototypes from university campuses can be set up for mass production and we make sure they're quality products and in ten years, it's something else.
I hate these China China or Dubai Dubai stuff when we have our brains doing good abroad.
