Erojim Investments Limited, a specialised firm in fabrics, security, industrial and all-purpose footwear, has expressed readiness to partner with the Akwa Ibom State Government in support of Governor Umo Eno’s drive to diversify the state’s economy and strengthen private-sector participation.
The company, headquartered in Aba, Abia State, made this known when its management met with the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ubong Essien. Discussions centred on a proposed partnership expected to cover education, sports and other critical sectors aligned with the administration’s ARISE Agenda.
Led by its founder, Dr. Jimmy Ntuen, the management explained that the company, which was established about a year ago, is focused on carving a niche for itself as a major player in Nigeria’s garment, footwear and leather goods manufacturing industry.
During a tour of the company’s plant by a delegation of journalists from the Akwa Ibom State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), led by Chairman Comrade Nsibiet Udo John, the management expressed appreciation for the visit. They assured that Erojim Investments plans to deepen its presence in Akwa Ibom and neighbouring states in the coming years.
The company attributed this ambition to its heavy investment in cutting-edge, state-of-the-art machinery designed for high-efficiency and automated production.
With advanced technology driving every stage of its operations, Erojim Investments said it is able to deliver speed, precision and consistent quality on a large scale.
The shoe production line alone has an installed capacity of about 1,500 pairs of shoes daily, while the garment section produces up to 500 pieces of clothing per day, depending on design complexity.
This capacity, the firm noted, positions it to handle large orders without compromising quality, finishing or durability.
Speaking on behalf of the chairman, the General Manager, Mrs. Lucy Ejelonu, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to producing tested, well-designed and high-quality garments, shoes and leather bags.
She highlighted that Erojim Investments is owned by an indigene of Akwa Ibom State and is fully prepared to partner with Governor Umo Eno’s ARISE Agenda.
Ejelonu recalled that the company recently donated 1,000 pairs of shoes produced in its factories to support the state government’s free and compulsory education programme.

The General Manager further disclosed that Erojim Investments has expanded its operations beyond Aba, with branches now in Lagos, Kaduna, Ikot Osurua in Ikot Ekpene, and Uyo, underscoring the firm’s growing national footprint.
Beyond manufacturing, she emphasised the company’s commitment to job creation, youth empowerment and skills development, noting that Erojim has continued to train and sponsor Nigerian youths in various vocational areas to promote self-reliance.
“Erojim Investments is ready to offer its services for the mass production of quality T-shirts, garments and other fashion products, proudly made in Nigeria,” she said.
