Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Dr Uche Ogah, will this Friday in Owerri, Imo State, commission the factory extension of Shanghai Engineering Works and Industrial Limited (SEWIL). The new extension, which is part of a larger $1.5 billion factory that produces PVC pipes for all purposes – including electrical pipes, borehole pipes, oil pipes, PVC ceiling, among others, also undertakes the fabrication of all types of steel and security doors. With an operational branch in China, the factory is designed to connect and partner with diverse contractors across the Asian construction industry and like-minded organisations in Nigeria. Mbisiogu said it is in line with these objectives that SEWIL is expanding into the production of PVC pipes, Electrical pipes, Bore-hole pipes and PVC ceiling and production of window profiles. The minister is expected to be a guest of Governor Hope Uzodinma, whom Mbisiogu said has been of immense support to the SEWIL vision.
