Ajimobi inaugurates biggest edible oil refinery in Ibadan
#harvestofpeace
Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State on Friday
inaugurated the biggest automated edible oil refinery
and margarine company in Sub-Saharan Africa in
Ibadan, with a pledge that his administration would
continue to do all within its powers to ensure that the
state continued to be the preferred destination of
investors in Nigeria.
The firm, Rom Oil Mills Limited, a subsidiary company of
Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc, is expected to refine crude palm
kernel oil, crude palm oil and crude soybean oil into
refined oil and distilled fatty acids.
Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Ajimobi said that
the effect of the employment generation that the
company would give the people of the state was his own
idea of stomach infrastructure.
``This, indeed, is our idea of the so-called stomach
infrastructure. We thank the management of the
company for their implicit trust and confidence in our
state. You have indeed vindicated our stance,’’ he said.
The governor added that the cumulative effects of his
administration’s developmental drive and consequent
influx of investors into our state would result in
employment generation and empowerment of the
people which, he said, would positively impact millions
of our people, as ``it is the best and most dignifying
stomach infrastructure ever’’.
Ajimobi said the establishment of the firm, a-400 metric
tonnes per day universal refinery, was another testimony
to his administration’s leadership and “investors-bait
ing” policies.
He described the development as the dividends of the
peaceful atmosphere which his administration brought
back to the state at its inception as well as the enabling
environment which had been attracting foreign
investment, stressing that the management of the
company would never have invested their billions of
naira in a violent-prone and dirty Oyo State of the past.
The governor, while stating that thousands of the sons
and daughters of the state would be employed by the
company, added that this would have multiplier effects
on over a million of their dependants.
Governor Ajimobi expressed satisfaction with the rate at
which investors had been trooping to the state, stating
that ``Oyo State boasts of the presence of a leading
soya milk manufacturing company in Nigeria, the largest
bread-making factory West Africa, the Number One day-
old chicks agricultural company in Nigeria, the biggest
support service provider for the telecoms industry in
Nigeria, among others.
``If you add the largest Shoprite outlet in West Africa
that has been recently sited in our state, you will
understand how a secured and peaceful atmosphere, as
well as an environmentally-conducive state, is essential
for employment-generation and indeed, the economic
development of the people.
``Add all these to the rebirth of night life in the capital
city, as manifest in the many hospitality industries that
have sprung up in the nooks and crannies of Oyo State,
you will realize why development experts say that peace
and security are the foundation of any society,’’ he said..
The governor said that his vision was based on removing
the state from the unpleasant profile of a backward,
violent state that drove away investors.
Speaking at the occasion, the Minister of Agriculture, Dr.
Akinwumi Adesina commended the agricultural agenda
of the Ajimobi administration, stressing that the
governor had done a lot to assist farmers in the state,
especially in the provision of tractors and other farm
implements.
He also said that the federal government had distributed
351,000 high quality palm seedlings to farmers in the
state, thanking the governor for ensuring that the
seedlings got to the end users.

This is the stomach infrastructure ( for citizen, state and odua states) that I know.
The ekiti type is Amala politics.

I love this competition.. A magnificent
stadium commissioned yesterday in
Akwa Ibom state, and a gigantic
refinery in OYO state ..... Who says 2
major party system isn't right for
Nigeria? PDP Now knows that the only thing that will keep them in power is
their performance. APC knows that the
only way to grab power at the center is
their by their performance at state
level....Let the competition continue,
and the masses benefit from it. The only people pity is my people who has
refused to welcome Any opposition
parties as a result of sentiment;there
fore remaining PDP slaves and
backward until they wake up to politics
of reality .

people in ekiti to me will regret their decision,and those of u celebrating a stadium i pity u guys ooo,in 21st century thats a job for private firm,a governor spent that amount of money on a stadium that contributes less than 0.1 development to the state i pity them,okay that money can provide the citizen of the state with more than 20,000 job if only a mini-refineries is built instead the guy is fooling them,a state that receive highest allocation from the fg cant say this is hes providing a job for his citizen and most of them will be running to lagos to do slave boy and their daughters housemaid and then fhucking all the man in the house,what a pity
