Olufemi Ogunyemi, Managing Director of the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), has said the newly approved Harvestfield Medical Free Trade Zone will significantly reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported medical products while strengthening local production capacity.
In a statement signed by Martins Odeh, Head of Corporate Communications at NEPZA, Ogunyemi made the remarks during the presentation of the Declaration of Licence and Operational Licence to the promoters of the zone in Abuja.
He described the Harvestfield Free Trade Zone (FTZ) as a strategic intervention aimed at addressing critical gaps in the country’s health sector, noting that it aligns with the Federal Government’s push to transform Nigeria into an export-driven economy.
