Mr Azibaola
Robert, founder of Zeetin, Precision Engineering Company said in a statement
issued in Yenagoa on Friday that the partnership would provide a solid
framework for industries to start and thrive.
Robert said
that Zeetin, Precision Engineering in Abuja on Wednesday received the
Management of Hydropolis Investment Limited, the subsidiary of Mainstream
Energy Solutions,.
Hydropolis operates the Kainji Dam Hydro.
According
to Robert the Hydro poer firm was on a working visit to Zeetin Factory, as part
of the collaborative effort to deepen and catalyse the industrialisation of
Nigeria,
The two firms are currently working on the
building of the Hydropolis industrial park in Kainji, Niger State.
Robert explained that as part of its investment, Hydropolis is commencing the
building of a Free Trade Zone
The
proposed facility would be a one-stop industrial park to house over 200
industries, together with an international airport, a luxurious living city and
forest
reserves
that will also drive tourism to Nigeria.
Robert said the Hydropolis was led by Dr. Abdulmalik Ndagi, its project
coordinator, expressed satisfaction over Zeetin’s capacity to provide the
technology backup for the building of the industrial park
He said
that Zeetin would also continuously provide spares for the various industries
to be located in the park.
Robert noted that only strategic collaboration amongst technology-driven
Nigerian companies can provide a veritable vehicle for fast-tracking the
infrastructural development of the country.
“Nigeria’s
infrastructural development can easily be fast-tracked, when our companies,
especially those that are technology-driven, collaborate strategically for the
overall infrastructural development and growth of Nigeria.
“That is what we are doing here in Zeetin. We are providing pioneer engineering
solutions to Nigeria for the overall development of the country.
“This
will spur several other Nigerians and companies to follow suit, and before you
know, Nigeria will emerge as a technologically advanced country to reckon
with.” Robert stated.
Responding, Ndagi said that Zeetin and Hydropolis would work out modalities
that would enable the two companies to work together for the realisation of
Hydropolis' laudable projects in Nigeria.
“What we have come to see in Zeetin has overtaken our own plan. We need
to work out modalities on how we can work with Zeetin to replicate this factory
in our industrial park.
“This
will help us bring down the cost of our project which will also enable us
accomplish it faster in the interest of Nigeria.
“The machines you have here at Zeetin are far, far beyond what we envisaged and
they will be of great benefit to us. So, there’s definitely a need for us to
have a collaboration with Zeetin.” Ndagi said
The ompany is the promoter and developer of the Hydropolis Free Zone; its
flagship investments comprising Afani Industrial Park, Afani Smart City,
Hydropolis International/Cargo Airport – all located within the Hydropolis Free
Zone.
Both companies said they were committed to work out modalities of cooperation
for the common benefit of the respective companies, especially for the
realisation of the industrial park in Kainji, in which construction has already
commenced.
