  ELEGANZA INDUSTIAL COMPLEX
The industry covers a vast land area and boasts of having one of the
largest plastic manufacturing plants in Nigeria and are well known for
producing coolers, luggage boxes, diapers, plastic chairs, hair
threads and footwear This industrial complex is large and has different
lines of production and distribution units though some of their
factories are barely operational.

Other parts of the industrial complex are used as warehouses which are
rented out by other companies to store various products.

 PRESENCE OF LABOUR FORCE:

Labour is an active factor of production. It is the factor that starts

production. The availability of labor or skilled workforce is the success

ACCESSIBILITY:

Transport offices, by and large, impact the area of industry.

Transportation modes, i.e., water, street, and rail assume a significant
part. So the intersection points of streams, streets, and railroads become
murmuring places of modern action. This allows for ease of movement
of industrial goods and services to and from the various industries to
their point of need. The 2 major road channels being Mobolaji, Kudirat
Abiola way which majority of the industries are sited along due to ease
of traffic allowing for ease of transportation of industrial goods.
Warehouses located within the Eleganza industrial complex

FACTORS THAT MIGHT HAVE

INFLUENCED THE LOCATION OF
INDUSTRIES ON SITE

NEARNESS TO MARKET
For the growth of all industries. Due to the industry cited within Ikeja
which is the capital of Lagos and also its central business district, there
is a concentration of labour force within the area further influencing the
citing of industries within close proximity to it. Also the adjourning land
use which are mostly classified as commercial and residential serve as

SITE:
Available facilities and their standards
Site requirements for industrial development are of considerable
significance. Sites, generally, should be flat and well-served by
adequate transport facilities. Large areas are required to build factories POWER: Regular supply of power is a prerequisite for the

Pollution: generators and micro power plants.

An observation within the study area was a presence of noise and air

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Most refuse within Oregun are dumped in the Olusosun dumpsite which is
a 100-acre dump in Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria. It is the largest in
Africa, and one of the largest in the world. The site receives up to 10,000
tons of rubbish each day. Though there is a means of treatment it is not
as effective and in very close proximity to industries and businesses
within the study area. There has also been several complaints of water
contamination and air pollution. Industrial generators present in an industrial factory (Eleganza

condition which enhances the transporting of products and as well as the
drainage system, is well managed. Some streets in this area have double
drainage systems which work effectively while other streets suffer from
flood during raining season due to lack of drainage system or one-sided
drainage

STORAGE FACILITIES:
There are landed areas set aside to serve for storage of
industrial products. These facilities are in forms of
warehouses like present in the Eleganzer industrial complex.

WASTE DISPOSAL:

The Olusosun dumpsite is a 100-acre dump in Lagos, Lagos State,

Nigeria. It is the largest in Africa, and one of the largest in the world.
The site receives up to 10,000 tons of rubbish each day. Waste from
around 500 container ships is also delivered to the site, adding a
substantial portion of electronic waste. Some of this material is treated
with chemicals to extract reusable products resulting in toxic fumes
being released this dumpsite also accommodates for the refuse of the
various industries.

 Likely effects of the estate on the
vicinity

POSITIVE:

 Improve the presence of job opportunities due to the

presence of industries and commercial sites

 Economic enhancement which is brought about by the

level of revenue generated within the study area

 Reduction in social vices due to the availability of job
