On 8th August 2018, Managing Director of the Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), Mr. Emmanuel Jime, stated that all obstacles hindering the take-off of the Abuja Centenary Economic City Free Zone in Abuja have been cleared thus paving the way for its implementation.“Most of the grey areas that have hindered the take-off have been cleared through the involvement of NEPZA with the FCTA, NIPC and other relevant agencies,” he said.
Mr. Jime who said the Centenary City Abuja was conceptualized and initiated at the same time with Eko Atlantic City, expressed happiness that the project is about to witness a gigantic leap.
He revealed that with the Centenary City Abuja, there would be no need for Nigerians to go abroad for shopping and tourism, adding that this would also stem capital flights occasioned by Nigerians visiting places like Dubai and the United States of America.
