The Ogun State Government and the Arise Integrated Industrial Platform, an India-based multinational company, have put together a project implementation team for the takeoff of the $2bn biggest garment production company in Africa. The team is expected to identify what needs to be done and when, as well as to jointly establish a timeline for each task in preparation for the groundbreaking ceremony of the project in September this year. Speaking when he received a delegation from the Arise Integrated Industrial Platform, led by its President, Mr. Gagan Gupta, and the representative of AFRIXEM Bank in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta on Friday, the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, noted with delight the enormous contribution the project would have on the economy of the state and the nation at large. According to Prince Abiodun, with the capacity to produce 100 tons per hour, 1,000 tons per day, 40,000 tons per month, and about 350,000 tons per year, the factory would turn out about 4.4 million garments every day and employ between 120,000 to 150,000 direct and indirect labourers.
