Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Nigeria Export Processing Zone Authority to make Calabar Free Trade Zone a pilot industrial city in the country.
The new managing director Emmanuel Jime announced this in Calabar, during a courtesy call on Gov Ben Ayade.
Jime said Calabar will be one of the six of such cities, because the president said he wants a situation where industrial activities in the country are at their optimum.
He disclosed that the enterprises within the Calabar Free Trade zone have investments worth over $450 Million and that about 11,000 direct employment has been guaranteed.
