5 177 PARCELS FOR FACTORIES After a professional and long running project designing process, Abuja Industrial Park project with 177 parcels have been created. As a Mixed Industrial Park Project, the Park will host 177 production areas from different sectors. Hence the city will make a serious progress to become an important production and industry center of the country. In fact with modern structure and NEO-production vision, Abuja Industrial Park is a candidate to be the example for the rest of the country. In addition to that, new support services, numerous small to medium-sized, workshops and new workplaces will be launched to supply to meet necessary requirements of functioning factories and businesses. Mostly by foreign investment, the Park will support economical development of Abuja. Different business experiences and production cultures will be transferred from all over the world to the Capital. Demand and supply mechanism will be well functioned in the zone by gathering production lines in one area. Convenience in obtaining permits to construct and operate factories, as well as in customs services, etc. Saving in investment in utility systems, Such as, Road, Power Supply, Telephones, Water, Drainage. Reduction in taxes and grating of other benefits by the Board of Investment to industrial estates.

6 PEOPLE DIRECTLY EMPLOYED It is planned that the factories to be opened at Abuja Industrial Park will employ directly almost employees. In different sectors, these skilled and unskilled workers will be the part of production and assist for development of Nigeria. Besides, Abuja Industrial Park will create a considerable amount of indirect employments in neighbor areas which will be named subsidiary industry. So, the project will provide employment more than the estimated number. Most importantly, workers will have opportunity to work in organized and well-disciplined facilities mostly established by foreign investors. Moreover, the Industrial Park Project will bring a great opportunity for the local people by establishing vocational-technical- schools to train people in order to provide the demand of the facilities. With this aim, yearly hundreds of unskilled and skilled workers will be educated with the chance of practicing in the factories and vocational school. Nigerian youths will be educated in vocational classes due to their talents. So, each will have skills so be part of the production process in the Park. Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is a challenge for all countries in Africa.

7 MADE IN NIGERIA PRODUCTS Increasing Domestic Production Unfortunately a great number of goods and products in Nigerian market are imported from outside so that causes a dependent industry. That also decreases the speed of development of the country. However, Abuja Industrial Park Project brings a noteworthy solution which will be an example for the rest of the country. So, the goal of that project is to increase the number of Made in Nigeria Products and promoting a sustainable economic and social development first in Abuja and then for the entire country. What will Abuja Industrial Park carry out? The number of products stamped with Made in Nigeria will increase. That will boost the national pride and assist to economical capability of the country. Equity capital and natural resources will be saved and used for domestic production. The value of Nigerian product will rise up in the region and in the continent as well. Local people will feel themselves more sufficient enough by experiencing and training in facilities and technical schools, they hereby will be more eager to produce better quality goods. As also indicated by the United Nations Development Goals and African Development Agency, domestic production is the one key solution for promoting sustainable development of Africa. Hence Zeberced Group s endeavor for accomplishing Abuja Industrial Park Project will also serve for achieving those goals indicated by the UN and ADA.

8 BY THE ABUJA INSDUSTRIAL PARK INCREASING EXPORT AIRPORT DECREASING IMPORT RAILWAY INCREASING EXPORT DECREASING IMPORT INCREASINNG EXPORT DECREASING IMPORT Thanks to Abuja Industrial Park, the number of the export will increase, and together with the total production, the imports that cause reduction of the national resources will be decreased. Goods which will be produced by Nigerians will be easily distributed to the markets in the whole country. Most importantly, neighbor countries and other foreign countries will be able to demand of good quality products made in the Park. Thus, that will help to decrease the imported goods and increase export as well. Mines and natural resources of Nigeria will be used for the domestic production, accordingly the country will experience the greatest opportunity of using its own sources for domestic products. Increasing production level will transform Nigeria to a production center of the region. International and domestic trade will become an important source of money for Abuja. Investors will be invited to produce due to main needs of Abuja and the region. Thus, Demands for goods of fast urbanization of Abuja will be able to be provided by productions in the industrial park. HIGHWAY HELIPORT LOCATION ADVANTAGE Railway, Sea Port and Airport connections makes available for distribution of produced goods in the industrial park. Also transferring raw materials and machinery from overseas countries will be more applicable. Capital City, Abuja stays at the middle of the country therefore the location of the Industrial Park is very appropriate for logistic services to its neighbor countries; Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Benin. New rail road and highway roots have been developing by the endeavors of Nigerian Government. Rail road will be passing from inside of Abuja Industrial Park, so it will be available to load and unload carriages inside the private station in the Park.

9 Capital City: Abuja Currency: Naira Population: 175 milyon Square Measure: 923,768 km 2 WHY INVESTING IN NIGERIA? First, Nigeria has the highest population of African Continent with almost 180 million people. Approximately 70 million workforces in whole country. Noteworthy stimulus and support from government of Nigeria pulls many investors attention. In many sectors, there are important support and convenience which come from governments and states. 7 th big oil producer of the world.

So that will make Nigeria an example for the rest of the region where highly needs such encouragement. There is a high need to diversify the Nigerian economy into the non-oil sector.this would help expand the sources of growth and make it broad based, both socially and geographically. Further development of agriculture, manufacturing and services could broaden growth, create employment and reduce poverty. Nigeria s long term aspiration is to be among the top 20 economies in the world by the year 2020.
