PM Abiy says hard work is the foundation for growth and prosperity.
He made the remark while inaugurating the Lemi National Cement Factory. With a production capacity of 150,000 quintals per day, this mega project stands as a testament to our government’s commitment to building fast, building big, and building clean, he said.
According to the Prime Minister, “It exemplifies the swift and efficient delivery of crucial infrastructure.”
On his social media post, PM Abiy has congratulated everyone involved in realizing this important project, which now produces 50% of the cement made by factories across the country.
“Returning to this site after two years, I am astounded by the progress, which reflects our governance principles. It shows that with hard work, future generations will not inherit poverty but a foundation for growth and prosperity,” he said.
If we replicate industrial projects like Lemi across the nation, the Premier adds, the ripple effects in job creation and national development will be unmatched, especially in sectors like steel manufacturing, fertilizer production, which can catalyze a broader industrial and agricultural revolution.
The challenges facing nations like Ethiopia require large-scale solutions. The joint cooperation between the private and public sectors is key to unlocking national opportunities and addressing our most pressing problems. By investing in initiatives like this, we can uplift more people and ensure they live dignified lives, he underscored.
