The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), has commended the infrastructure initiatives and dedication of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, in one year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The ACCI President, Mr Emeka Obegolu, in a statement described the infrastructure development strides by the minister in the city centre as remarkable.

“The ACCI, representing the voice of the business community and the Organised Private Sector within the FCT, appreciates this move.

“We also want to take the opportunity to draw attention to the urgent need for development in the Idu Industrial District.”

According to Obegolu, the Idu district is recognised as a significant business hub in the FCT and the cornerstone of the region’s industrialisation vision.

The ACCI president also emphasised the crucial role it played in fostering manufacturing, technology, employment, commerce, industry, and sustainable growth within the FCT.

He called for urgent government attention and intervention to provide essential infrastructure amenities such as good roads, water, public transport, and electricity in the Idu Industrial District.

According to Obegolu, these improvements are vital to facilitating seamless commercial operations for businesses in the area.

“We anticipate a significant transformation of the Idu Industrial Park that aligns with the overarching vision for the FCT, promoting economic growth and prosperity for the city.

”We assure the minister of ACCI’s support and look forward to a continued collaboration in driving sustainable development and economic prosperity within the city centre,” Obegolu said.(NAN)
