Nigeria: Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for governor of Ebonyi State, has pledged to revive the Nigeria Cement Factory at Nkalagu if elected in the forthcoming election. Odii said the successive administrations promised to revive the factory but failed to do so. Elections will be held on 11 March 2023.
Odii said, “As a governor, I will make sure the cement factory works, because many have promised to revamp the Nkalagu cement factory, but they failed. They failed because they lack the capacity. They failed because they are not entrepreneurs. I’m going to turn things around in Ebonyi state.”
