potential investors the government has put in place an industrialisation blueprint to
enable such investors examine and leverage inward looking, import-substitution,

Government has vigorously enabled the environment for the development of
industrial estates and cottage industries whether by the state or with private
interests, such that each of our 31 local government areas will

raw materials into finished products.
As an empowerment strategy, government supports and sponsors its citizens to embark on commercial ventures. Support includes identification of market
opportunities, participation in domestic and international trade fairs,
provision of infrastructures, periodic material subsidies, and patronage of
local entreprises.
