The Abia State Government and a consortium of local and foreign investors have intensified efforts to establish a 145 million dollar solar manufacturing plant in the state under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP).

The proposed facility, to be located at Umuelele in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area, is a partnership between the Abia State Government, MD Nwakamma Nigeria Ltd and Chinese technical partners.

Governor Alex Otti gave the assurance of the state’s commitment to the project while receiving the investors on Thursday in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government.

The governor said his administration remained committed to creating an investor-friendly environment and would continue to provide the necessary support for businesses to thrive.
