 VP SHETTIMA LEADS GOVERNORS TO BENIN REPUBLIC; SEEKS NEW INVESTMENT PATH FOR NIGERIA'S TEXTILE INDUSTRY 


Vice President Kashim Shettima is leading a high-level working visit to the Republic of Benin, with some state governors and senior officials.


The delegation will visit the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone, near Cotonou, where it will engage representatives of the Beninese government, investors and private-sector operators involved in the development and management of the industrial hub.


The visit is aimed at strengthening the implementation of Nigeria’s Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones Programme and drawing practical lessons from Benin’s approach to agricultural value addition, industrial infrastructure, investment mobilisation, skills development and export-oriented production.


Particular attention will be given to the GDIZ textile park, which operates an integrated production system covering cotton spinning, weaving, fabric processing and garment manufacturing.


The industrial zone covers about one thousand six hundred and forty hectares, designed to move agricultural commodities from the supply of raw materials through processing to the export of finished products.


The delegation is also expected to explore opportunities for technology and industrial training, modern machinery, reliable energy systems, common processing facilities and stronger public-private partnerships.
