Group Seeks Support For Achimugu, Other Female Entrepreneurs Driving Industrial Growth
The Campaign for Social Justice and Constitutional Democracy (CSJCD) has called on the Federal Government to extend robust support to female entrepreneurs like Aisha Achimugu, recognising their vital role in Nigeria’s economic transformation.
The CSJCD also urged the government to recognise and support entrepreneurs like Achimugu, whose enterprises are not only creating economic value but also building Nigeria’s technical capacity from the ground up.
According to the group, targeted policies and investments that bolster local engineering talent and industrial infrastructure will be key to unlocking Nigeria’s full economic potential and positioning the nation as a regional leader in industry and innovation.
The group’s president, Festus Ogwuche, heralded Achimugu’s achievements as proof of Nigeria’s vast potential for growth, highlighting the need for systemic support to empower women who are breaking barriers despite the nation’s challenging economic landscape.
Ogwuche praised Achimugu’s leadership at Felak Concept Group, a diversified conglomerate with a focus on infrastructural development, maritime, and industrial sectors.
Her commitment to building Nigeria’s industrial backbone exemplifies the critical intersection of entrepreneurship and national development.
The conglomerate’s projects—ranging from infrastructure and renewable energy to port management and industrial parks—are central to Nigeria’s broader industrialisation and skills development agenda.
He said, “A particular highlight of Achimugu’s contributions is her leadership at Altex, a company at the forefront of Nigeria’s technical and engineering development.
Altex’s projects have been instrumental in establishing Nigeria’s technical backbone, emphasising local engineering capacity and skills development.
“Through her strategic vision, Altex has prioritised staff training programmes that equip Nigerian engineers and technicians with world-class skills, fostering local expertise and reducing reliance on foreign labour.
“Achimugu’s focus on capacity building aligns seamlessly with Nigeria’s broader economic blueprint, which emphasises industrialisation and human capital development as pillars of sustainable growth.”
