• As Rivers targets pharmaceutical manufacturing hub
Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
Rivers State Government, in partnership with Enbay Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, on Wednesday flagged off the construction of RIVEN Medical Industries project in Rumuosi, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who performed the foundation-laying ceremony, described the project as a strategic investment that would reposition Rivers State as a leading pharmaceutical manufacturing hub, create employment opportunities, deepen industrialisation, and reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported medical products.
Fubara expressed confidence that the first phase of the facility would become operational within three months.
