Why in Lagos? Other states need this plants and industries more abeg. Lagos is already too freaking populated. They could have opened it in Rivers or Alwa Ibom kf they are worried about closeness to the port and hence materials. Even the excuse of market is not feasible as deliveries can be made. The concentration of industries in one state is causing more pressure on Lagos which is it smallest state according to landmass already. 97 Likes 4 Shares |

freezone4real: The factory workers will not be the rich. The labourers who built the plant were not the rich. The drivers, canteen owners, maintenance men, security staff etc who will keep the plant functioning will not be the rich. All these people mentioned will number in the thousands for this one plant. Also, when the rich buy cars from within Nigeria rather than from outside, they help boost economic activity by circulating the money within the country as opposed to capital flight. 62 Likes 5 Shares |
