The Federal Government has approved the establishment of a modular refinery in Abia State to boost the state’s socio-economic development.
Governor of Abia, Mr. Alex Otti confirmed this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, noting that the refinery will be sited inside the Abia Industrial and Innovation Park (AIIP) at Owaza.
“The refinery is being built by H.I.S Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited. The refinery, along with the ongoing road construction, will boost the marketability and viability of the AIIP and attract investors to our region,” Governor Otti said.
He expressed gratitude to the investors who are actively subscribing to the AIIP.
“We shall work together to create a robust industrial cluster that will accelerate rapid socio-economic development for our people,” the governor remarked.
He mentioned that his administration’s goal is to revive dormant economic assets and establish Ukwa West Local Government Area (LGA) as a choice investment destination.
