To tackle incidents of building collapse in the country, an indigenous manufacturing firm, Axion Engineering has inaugurated innovative construction products for the construction of smarter, stronger and long-lasting projects such as roads and buildings.
The event in partnership with CM Star Services Limited, was held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, yesterday.
Speaking during the unveiling of the new product, Axion Managing Director, Dr. Okey Eze, explained that the company has continued in its efforts to add value to the construction and built industry.
Eze revealed that the products are being used across Nigeria and several other African countries, stressing that other African countries have found interest in the product, which he said is helping the construction industry.
“We have continued to level up to see how we can add value to the construction industry, as far as saving costs and giving you durable roads and good buildings. We are here to help Africa as a whole with construction innovation.”
Eze said the Axion will continue to encourage the government to ensure that such products are being used in the industry, noting the support so far gotten from the Nigerian government.
“I can tell you vividly that the government in place have been very supportive of Axion because it is in this government that we have been given opportunity to train youths, getting involved in their application. Government is doing it’s best; it has tried.
“It is also under this government that we got approval for our products to be used by the Federal Ministry of Works. What we are going to do as an innovative company is to continue to encourage the government to ensure that such products are being used in the industry and also to enforce that it is being used.
“It is one thing to approve and another thing to actually implement it. So, creating some type of measures or creating enforcement to ensure that such additives are being incorporated in the construction. It will be a very good one for the government,” he said.
Earlier in her remarks, Managing Director of CM Star Services Limited, Catherine Kadiri, said the Axion innovative products were designed to solve real everyday challenges, providing stronger protection and faster application times, especially in buildings.
She said, “Axion helps us work smarter, not harder. It saves time, reduces waste, and delivers the kind of durability that gives peace of mind to both professionals and clients.
“But beyond the science and the technology behind these products, what matters most is the future they point us toward.
“Construction is changing. Our communities are growing, expectations are rising, and the demand for quality and speed has never been higher. The future belongs to solutions that combine innovation with practicality products that help us build strong roads, safe homes, and lasting infrastructure,” Kadiri added.
