EDO GOVT PARTNERS WITH MALASIA ON INDUSTRIAL PARK

Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki

Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has met with officials of the Malaysian East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC).

The meeting, which held on Thursday at the Government House in Benin City, reviewed the progress report on the proposed institutional framework that would support the planned Edo Industrial Park in Malaysia.

According to the governor, the Malaysian council deployed its expertise in the successful completion of 10 industrial parks in four states across the eastern part of the Asian country.

He said, “We have made significant progress in our consultations and the Malaysian industrial park model is very inspiring.”

“We are sharing experience and we are interested in their institutional framework because we want to build an Edo Industrial Park that will stand the test of time.

“If the needed attention is not paid to the institutional framework that will underpin the project, our desire to generate thousands of jobs in Edo State will not be achieved,” he added.

The ECERDC is a statutory body established by the Malaysian government to lead the socio-economic development of the East Coast Economic Region.

The proposed industrial hub in Malaysia covers Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and the district of Mersing in Johor.

It occupies an area of 66,000 sq km or 51 percent of the total area of Peninsular Malaysia.
