Orji Commissions N10b Aba Malting Plant Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji, has commissioned the N10 billion Aba Malting Plant, which is located in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state. Orji, who performed the ceremony at the company's complex over the weekend, commended its management for the massive investment. He said the company's decision to site the ultra-modern plant in Aba has further underscored the investment potential of the state, assuring that the government would provide the enabling environment to encourage the setting up of more industries in the state. He also pledged to ensure the security of lives and property and charged the state's Commissioner for Police to carry out this mandate efficiently. Orji, who led top members of his cabinet to the occasion, later unveiled the commemorative plaque and went on a facility tour of the plant, accompanied by senior management of the company. In his address, Mr. Michiel Herkemij, managing director/chief executive, Aba Malting Plant, described the investment as a manifestation of the company's unalloyed support for the growth and development of Abia State. He recalled that Aba Malting Plant, formerly known as Universal Malting Plant, was incorporated on October 8, 2004, by a group of investors to produce and supply high quality malted sorghum for the food and beverage industry. Noting that the strategic initiative was conceived to create employment opportunities for Nigerians through technical support to farmers and other entrepreneurs, as well as empower them to produce the vital raw material locally, he said the Aba Malting Plant acquired the Universal Malting Plant on March 1, 2008. "As at December, 2008, Aba Malting Plant had invested about N10 billion in this project to ensure its sustenance," adding, "Aba Malting Plant is an ultra-modern highly automated sorghum malting plant with the latest technology for the sorghum malting process. The plant is the biggest of its kind in the whole of Africa." According to Herkemij, the plant would assist in ensuring high quality malted sorghum for the production of beverages of the highest quality for consumers. "The plant will also become a centre of excellence for sorghum malting knowledge and skills. "Our goal is to assume the role of an African regional knowledge centre for sorghum research. In addition, it will create sustainable employment through direct engagement in sorghum farming and other activities related to sorghum supply chain management," he said. "All these massive investments," he said, "have made the company one of the highest investors in the state." Besides, he appealed to stakeholders to support the government's vision for quick industrial growth and investment promotion in the state by creating the enabling environment for businesses to thrive. Dignitaries from all walks of life-including traditional rulers in the locality, top officials of government parastatals and agencies, graced the occasion, while Chief Kola Jamodu, the Chairman of Aba Malting Plant, led the company's management team to the ceremony. http://www.independentngonline.com/news/ndig/article02 1 Like |

Nigerian Breweries Earmarks N17billion For Expansion of Its Aba Plant The Nigerian Breweries Plc has earmaked N17billion for the expansion and modernisation of Aba Brewing plant. The project, which started about six months ago, would be completed in the first quarter of next year. Aba Brewery Manager, Mr. Ukeje Udah, disclosed these when Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State visited the company. He said it was the first major expansion work to be done in the factory since its establishment in 1955 and the second to be built by NB Plc in the country. “This factory has made great progress. It started with 500,000 HL and today it is producing 1.2 million HL and it is estimated that by the time the present expansion is completed in the first quarter of next year, the production capacity would more than double.” Ukeje also said that with the completion of the project, which involved among others, the building of a new brew hall that would be installed with state of the art machines and fitted with modern facilities, the economic benefit to all stakeholders including the Abia State government would be unprecedented. http://nairametrics.com/company-watch-nigerian-breweries-earmarks-n17billion-for-expansion-of-its-aba-plant/ 1 Like |

Guinness begins operation in Aba, launches Dubic beer By Anayo Okoli, Umuahia Guinness Nigeria Plc, has resumed full operation in Aba, Abia state with the launch of its latest product, Dubic Lager beer. Speaking at the launch of Dubic Lager beer at the Government House, Umuahia, before moving to Aba, the chairman of the company, Mr. Babatunde Savage explained that Abia State was chosen for the launch because Dubic beer began from there before Guinness bought over the company. According to him, the people of Aba and the state in general were in love with the beer hence the decision to bring back to them in a better quality. Savage said that Guinness decided to kit Enyimba because it is synonymous with Aba just like Dubic beer which he said has come back better to give the Aba people more satisfaction. He said that the beer has been a household name in the state and expressed the hope that the people will patronize and enjoy more of it. He said that Enyimba has been doing well in continental outings and saying that Guinness was proud to be associated with the club. “Dubic Lager beer is a product produced with raw materials from this land. It is a Nigerian beer brewed to international standard. The package is unique. The liquid is great, it is a good product. Dubic beer has come back to stay”, Savage noted. “Dubic Extra Lager is a brand that connects with the heritage of our numerous consumers. We found this legacy of heritage in Enyimba Football Club. Enyimba was the first and still remains the only Nigerian football club that has won the CAF champions league twice”, Mr. Sola Oke, Head of innovation said. Also, the company has promised to provide employment opportunities to the host community including construction of roads and provision of pipe borne water. In his speech, Governor Theodore Orji who was represented by secretary to the government, Prof. Mkpa Agu Mkpa commended Guinness for returning back to Abia and for launching Dubic lager beer. The governor assured the company that Abia was very secured and conducive for doing business and urged Guinness to spread the news to the world. Orji promised that his government would assist the company in any way to ensure that they enjoy doing business in the state and thanked them for the decision to sponsor Enyimba. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/guinness-begins-operation-in-aba-launches-dubic-beer/ 1 Like |

Fidelity Finances Africa’s Largest Aluminium Can Factory In Aba, Abia State FIDELITY Bank Plc has said that it is financing the multi- million naira aluminium can project in Aba, South East Nigeria. The factory which will be ready in a couple of months’ time will take off with an initial production capacity of 1.2 billion cans per annum. This clearly surpasses the Agbara Can Manufacturing Factory that took off with an initial production capacity of 600 million cans per year, thus making the new plant the largest aluminum can factory in Africa. Managing Director and Chief Executive, Fidelity Bank Plc, Mr.Reginald Ihejiahi who made the disclosure to journalists, at the weekend in Lagos,explained that the financing options adopted by the bank were largely driven by its commitment and faith in the development of the Nigerian economy. According to him,“We are a bank operating in an emerging market and we believe that the industrial sector remains the heart of banking in such markets.” Ihejiahi, whose bank also financed a similar project in Agbara, Ogun State, further explained that as an institution in business purely for commercial reasons, the bank is mandated to report to its shareholders. This,he said, implies that the bank should have steady streams of income at the end of the year, and therefore, should carefully select the projects it would sponsor at any given time, as part of its commitment to the development of the economy. Said he,“When we opened the Agbara Can manufacturing factory which was commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010, it started with 600million cans per annum. However, the Aba Can manufacturing company which is nearing completion will take off from the first day with 1.2billion production capacity and we believe that with this pace Nigeria will soon be self-sufficient in aluminum can production.” Ihejiahi explained that the facility offers enormous opportunity for job creation and other economic benefits to the citizens of the country. The Aba Can factory is expected to service the breweries and beverage companies in the South East and South South parts of the country, and by extension other parts of Nigeria. “We are also not ruling out export opportunities to West African and other African countries because of the size of the factory,he further stated. Meanwhile South African Breweries has just opened a brewery in Onitsha and the market is quite large. They are expected to be a major beneficiary of the aluminum can project. http://southeastnewsonline..in/2013/03/fidelity-finances-africas-largest.html?m=1 1 Like |

Imo state has sunk to an unbearable condition. Orji is by far better than Okorosha because the former hasn't borrowed at least put something on the ground no matter small while the later borrowed over 200billion and wasted it with his northern cousins while Imo state rots away. abagoro: 2 Likes |

If we do a general assessment of overall roads in both Imo and Abia states, I must confess to you that Abia has better road network than Imo state. Owerre side of PH road is a deathtrap and about the worst road in the East. Orji tried at least he did not borrow a dime, what about Okorosha that borrowed over 200billion with nothing on the ground to show for it? Abeg cut Orji some slack. ernecy: 2 Likes |

ernecy: Jonathan neglected Aba and much of Southeast and Southsouth. The reason why Dukes investments in Calabar failed os because all roads leading to Calabar are in a mess. It is same with Uyo and Aba. If the FG do their part, then the efforts of the State will be appreciated. I never claimed Abia has good roads but I claim Aba is the most industrialised city in Nigeria after Lagos. Abiriba is the finest village in Igboland Umuahia comes 3rd amongst State capitals right behind Enugu and Owerri. Aba is the largest town in the East right after Port Harcourt. Abia State University is the most beautiful in the East. Aba has some of the worst roads in the country and these include mostly federal roads and State road. Aba is the only city with completed power plant solely to serve the city. Theodore Orji is a disappointment and deliberately neglected Aba because he was pelted with "pure water". 5 Likes |

Unimpressive. You guys should please stop embarrassing us with these pathetic pictures. Like someone else said, for development pics, cities like Uyo, Enugu, Lagos, Abuja, PH, even Benin etc, are far more impressive than this ....garbage. Until the semi-literate, ignorant dunces who run places like Abia State understand that you do not build a road without sidewalks, or with open drains, and no road markings, signs etc etc, I think they should simply be ignored when it comes to these development threads. And whoever came up with that ''God's own state'' nonsense should be flogged for his shocking lack of imagination and nake.d mimicking. 2 Likes |

B2mario: The characteristics of these people is that they look for fault selectively. I believe criticism should be all inclusive and not targetted at particular group or interest. When they come to Imo thread, they condemn the booming of tourism and hospitality or building of schools or free education or turn blind eye to the fact that Owerri has the most maintained greenery and wide well kept median or almost the entire Owerri city has streetlights etc. Now I presented them with facts they did not know about industries in Aba and they are looking for ways to downplay the truth. Aba is not beautiful but it has over 40thousand cottage shoe factories. Aba has higher per capita income than even Lagos and is only 2nd to Port Harcourt. These are simple truths. That Aba has some if the worst roads is also true. That Theodore Orji treated Aba wrongky is also true. 1 Like |

It should be noted that abia needs redemption despite the fact that we are going to be surcasing the good side on this thread, prior to this i suggest that we also use this symposium to discuss the political challenges of our state. We should note our problems and suggest capable hands who can devise the panacea to these problems. Abia will liberated this time. |
