Vice President Kashim Shettima on Friday said the federal government plans to replicate the Glo Djigbe Industrial Zone model of the Republic of Benin in Nigeria
This is just as he urged African nations to take their rightful place in the control of global resources and trade by taking advantage of the natural endowment with which the continent is blessed.
He stated that this can only be possible if nations on the continent brace themselves and maximise the potential of the resources the region harnesses.
Shettima stated this on Friday in Cotonou, the Republic of Benin, when he led some Nigerian state governors on an official tour and assessment of the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ) in that neighbouring country, according to Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President
Shettima used the opportunity to assure that as long as Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the President of Nigeria, no region will be left behind in the renewed industrialisation drive of the Nigerian leader.
