The Onitsha Road Industrial Layout was established in 1982. It covers an area of about 265 hectares with about 275 Industrial plots. Parcellations into plots in the area have been completed. Some arterial roads have paved while others were also mainly opened up earth. Electricity installations and street lighting were partially completed. Following some little progress made in the development of the layout, a number of private entrepreneurs have established their businesses in the area.
The layout, if well developed will enhance rapid industrial development in the State. More industries in the state will create jobs to our people. On the part of industrialists the layout will reduce the initial costs associated with the establishment of new industries, Government revenues will increase through payment of company and PAYE Taxes. Investors could therefore take advantage of immense opportunities existing in the development of the Onitsha Road Industrial Layout.
