At Orashi FTZ, we have developed a model built for global competitiveness and long-term success:
- We Anchor on Energy
Located at the heart of Nigeria’s gas basin, we can reliably power industries—from LNG to methanol, fertiliser, petrochemicals, and power—with competitive pricing and dependable supply. - We Build Around World-Class Logistics
We are integrating:
- A dredged inland port linking to the Atlantic
- An international cargo airport
- Strategic highways
- Marine and aviation support platforms
We are connecting Imo to regional and global markets in ways never achieved before.
- We Cluster Industries for Scale
Focused industrial clusters will drive:
- Heavy industry
- Petrochemicals
- Fabrication and steel
- Agro-processing
- Export manufacturing
- Automotive assembly
Clustering enhances efficiency, specialisation, and global competitiveness.
- We Remove Barriers to Global Markets
With Afreximbank’s Africa Quality Assurance Centre, manufacturers can meet EU, U.S., and AfCFTA standards reliably, quickly, and affordably. - We Embrace Technology & Smart Security
Digitalised utilities, integrated surveillance systems, smart access control, and a central command centre ensure safety, efficiency, and world-class operations. - We Provide Investor-Centric Governance
A regulatory environment built on efficiency, transparency, and predictability—
supported by a streamlined single-window approval system that strengthens investor confidence. - We have the IMO ADVANTAGE – THE POWER OF OUR PEOPLE
Beyond gas, logistics, and incentives, our greatest competitive advantage is our people.
Imo State offers a large, educated, and capable workforce, known for professionalism, resilience, adaptability, and entrepreneurial drive.
This human capital is the engine that ensures Orashi is ready to build, ready to scale, and ready to lead as a truly competitive industrial ecosystem.
