Association Wants Beneficiaries To Develop Industrial Estate
President, Delta State
Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Mines and Agriculture (DACCIMA), Chief Uju Udeme, has urged individuals allocated plots at the Asaba Industrial Estate to develop them.
Udeme told newsmen in Asaba that the industrial estate was allocated to the beneficiaries more than 10 years ago.
He said the site was overdue for development and appealed to the beneficiaries to ensure a speedy development of the site for the purpose it was meant.
The association president said the development of the industrial estate would enhance economic activities in the state, expressing optimism that there would be adequate power supply to the area.
Udeme commended the Federal Government for successfully executing the amnesty programme, which brought about peace and development in the South-South geo-political zone of the country.
On some of the achievements of the association in the last one year, he said some members were sponsored to various entrepreneurship trainings across the country.
“Some members have attended training at the Pan-Atlantic University in Lagos and, presently, some of our members are attending some training programmes at the Benson Idahosa University in Benin City.
“More than 20 members who are already participating in the training will graduate before the end of the year, while more members will still take their turn,’’ the association president said.
Udeme said the essence of the training programme was to groom the beneficiaries on entrepreneurship management skills and on how to improve their businesses.
