General Electric’s Calabar facility in Southern Nigeria is set
to provide over 3,000 jobs upon completion, the firm said last week.
“We are investing over $1bn dollars in our Calabar facility over 5
years and we have already trained 15 Nigerian engineers who will be at
the vanguard at the cost of about $3.6 mn. Our plans to localise
operations and create long term job opportunities for Nigerians remain
unwavering,” Uzo Nwagwu Chief Operating Officer Oil & Gas (West
Africa) told a gathering of journalists during a facility tour of GE’s
Onne facility.
