Contrary to popular opinion, African manufacturing began to develop as from the beginning of the 20th century, more specifically in the 1920s, still during the colonial period. The industrialization process in Africa occurred in two phases: the initial stage, a very incipient one still during colonialism, stimulated by colonial people, started around that time and ended in the late 1940s; the second stage of industrialization began in the late 1950s and gathered momentum in the 1960s, when import substitution was more widely implemented.
In the latter period, industrialization became a politically conscious strategy aimed at overcoming underdevelopment.
With so many African countries still battling to keep up with the momentum of industrialization, it becomes typical as the reflection of this poor implementation became obvious in the rate of unemployment and low economic development.
As the for this year’s African Industrialization day – Theme 2020: “Inclusive and sustainable industrialisation in the AfCFTA era”
#AIW2020, it becomes imperative that Africa, especially Nigeria, must embrace and cue massively into the Industrialization scheme.
Importantly, Mr Godwin Ezeemo has continued to show class and take the lead in championing the course on this line of bringing home Industrialization to the grassroots with the setting up of over twenty thousand direct and indirect employment values through his Orient Farms, Orient feed mill, Fresh life water, union haulage, Honey well Hotel, Orient Newspaper, Orient FM, Orient Commercial print house and so many other industries, all within Anambra state.
This is a direct reflection of his understanding of the new phase of global economic impact and job creation.
Further, infrastructure, skills and stronger institutions serve as the driving force, hence sustainable industrialization has the potential to create employment, especially in the manufacturing sector of African economies. With more decent jobs that pay living wages, we believe that poverty will be eradicated. Currently, Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest poverty level,especially in low income and conflict-affected countries.
It also has the highest number of the working poor. Unemployment remains high especially for the youth with most making of them making a living in the informal sector. Sustainable industrialization can reverse this and turn the workers fortune around.
Mr Godwin Ezeemo has continued to show class by implementing massively on the ‘aku ruo uno’ that is aimed at striking the much needed industrialization of our immediate Communities and states. He has inturn contributed massively in key sectors ranging from Job creation, security and hospitality, food production etc.
Anambrarians are keen to have him mantle on the state Governorship position in order to provide this long awaited hunger for job creation and ease of doing business in the state.
revisit to Ezeemo’s voice on the need to initiate and sustain industrialization in Africa, Nigeria and Anambra state.
There is a golden opportunity over the next years as Anambra economy will surely pick up the pace through Mr Godwin Ezeemo Industrialization scheme.
