He called on other governors, particularly those of the cotton producing states to emulate the Kwara State governor by promoting value-added manufacturing, “even on the public private partnership basis as a strategy for job creation and wealth generation”.

The director general of the Michael Imoudu National Institute For Labour Studies (MINILS), Comrade Issa Aremu, who was also a former general secretary of the textiles union, said reviving the textiles industry will help greatly in engaging the youths in productive ventures and reduce the challenges of insecurity across the country.

He charged the government to protect the existing textile factories and bring old factories back to operations to ensure job creation and poverty eradication.

For his part, the chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in Kwara State, Comrade Murtala Olayinka, hailed the establishment of Kwara Garment Factory.

He noted that the factory when become fully operational will provide thousands of direct and indirect jobs opportunities for the youth in the state.

Olayinka expressed delight that the factory had already engaged some workers and has commenced operation.

He appealed to the governors of the 19 northern states to take advantage of the cotton plantation in the region by establishing textiles industries.
