Enugu Set To Export Pineapples To Europe by PhockPhockMan: 11:15am On Sep 02, 2014 |
The Enugu State Government would commence the commercial shipment of pineapple to Europe this year, the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Chuks Ugwoke, said on Monday. Ugwoke, who said this while addressing journalists after the State Executive Council meeting, explained that the commodity would be harvested from the 150-hectare Enugu-San Carlos Pineapple Farm. The meeting was chaired by Governor Sullivan Chime at the Government House, Enugu. In addition to the production of pineapple, the commissioner said the council also approved the introduction of banana and livestock, particularly cattle, in the farm, which is jointly owned by the state government and San Carlos, a United States-based farming conglomerate. The council also approved N880.8m as the state’s equity counterpart contribution for new investments in the farm. Ugwoke said the council approved another N1.1bn for the completion of construction work on two major inter-local government rural roads in parts of the state. He added that about N48.8m was approved for the implementation of the health commodity supply component of the 2013 Millennium Development Goals Local Government Track for six local government areas of Awgu, Enugu East, Igbo-Eze South, Nkanu West, Nsukka and Udi. It is expected that hospital equipment, drugs and other materials needed in health care facilities in the state will be provided with the sum. Ugwoke similarly said the council directed that a draft bill for a law to upgrade the State College of Agriculture and Agro-Entrepreneurship in Iwollo Oghe to the Enugu State Polytechnic should be forwarded to the state House of Assembly for consideration and possible passage. According to the commissioner, the bill, if passed into law, and the school, will help to reduce the hardship being faced by many candidates seeking admission into higher institutions in the state and also facilitate the steady and direct in-flow of material and financial resources to the institution from outside the state. http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/enugu-set-to-export-pineapple-to-europe/ 2 Likes |

Obiagelli: The deputy was impeached for operating a commercial venture other than what he was elected to do. I know every politician does it, but it doesn't make it right. He fell foul of the law, and even though it seems frivolous, the ENSG took an action grounded in law. @topic: The original plan was that ENSG will also process the pineapple to finished products (juices) which will then be sold/exported. I'm not sure how I feel about this new decision to export the pineapples instead. If so, there's nothing to celebrate here. 1 Like |

passion007:was the poultry commercial (honest question), was he asked to close it down and he refused? Is it not his official resistance? What if he did it to show a good example of backyard farming Since when did farming become illegal commerce? 1 Like |

Nna see hidden comments! @post,even though Sullivan Chime has some personal problems he must look into,I still commend him for his achievements. |
Re: Enugu Set To Export Pineapples To Europe by passion007: 2:35pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
Obiagelli:YES. In fact, during the trial he alluded to his "business manager". Farming is not illegal, but it's illegal for public servants to engage in commerce of any type. 1 Like |

Damn great news. Can't wait to set-up/ kick-start my oil palm and cassava plantation/processing agro clusters within the various relevant hinterlands of the coal-city. The impending completion of the cargo airport is something one must start planning to take advantage of -hopefully in a few of years. #ProudlyNwadianaEnugu 6 Likes |
