Erojim Investments Limited, a specialised manufacturer of fabrics, footwear, and leather goods based in Aba, Abia State, has expressed readiness to collaborate with the Akwa Ibom State government in support of Governor Umo Eno’s agenda to diversify the economy and enhance private-sector participation.
The company’s management, led by Dr Jimmy Ntuen, recently met with the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ubong Essien, to discuss a partnership expected to cover key areas such as education, sports, and other sectors aligned with the administration’s ARISE Agenda. The firm, established about a year ago, aims to establish itself as a major player in Nigeria’s garment, footwear, and leather goods industry.
During a plant tour by journalists from the Akwa Ibom Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), led by Chairman Comrade Nsibiet Udo John, the management highlighted its commitment to expanding operations into Akwa Ibom and neighbouring states. The company is equipped with advanced, state-of-the-art machinery designed for high-efficiency, automated production.
“With advanced technology driving every stage of the manufacturing process, Erojim manufacturing company is able to deliver speed, precision, and consistent quality on a large scale,” the management stated. The shoe production line has an installed capacity of 1,500 pairs daily, while the garment section can produce up to 500 pieces per day, depending on design complexity. This capacity enables the company to handle large orders without compromising quality or durability.
Addressing the media, General Manager Lucy Ejelonu, speaking on behalf of Chairman Atuekong Ntuen, reaffirmed Erojim’s commitment to producing high-quality garments, shoes, and leather bags. She emphasised that the company, owned by an Akwa Ibom indigene, is fully aligned with the ARISE Agenda.
Ejelonu noted that Erojim recently donated 1,000 pairs of shoes to support the state government’s free and compulsory education programme. She also highlighted the company’s expansion beyond Aba, with branches in Lagos, Kaduna, Ikot Osurua in Ikot Ekpene, and Uyo, reflecting a growing national presence.
Beyond manufacturing, the company focuses on job creation, youth empowerment, and skills development, training and sponsoring Nigerian youths to build a self-reliant workforce. “Erojim Investments is ready to offer its services for mass production of quality T-shirts, garments, and other fashion products, proudly made in Nigeria,” Ejelonu added.
