El-rufai Flags Off Construction Of $150 Million Poultry Factory In Kaduna - by Nobody: 12:06pm On Apr 09, 2016 |
The proposed factory is being constructed by Olams International, an agro-based company with branches in over 100 countries. Speaking at the flagging off of the factory located in Chikun Local Government Area of the state, Governor Nasir El-Rufai, while explaining why investors should embrace business opportunities in the state, described Kaduna as the gateway to Northern Nigerian markets, with effective land management, raw materials availability, security, favourable tax policies among others. The animal feed factory is said to be the largest in sub-saharan Africa when completed in the next 15 months. It will comprise of an animal feed mill, poultry breeding farms and a hatchery to produce day-old chicks. Governor El-Rufai, who performed the ground breaking ceremony said the project will create more jobs for the teeming unemployed youths. He expressed belief that the return of vibrant economic activities and the reduction of poverty among the populace will drive prosperity and reduce the divisions that became pronounced as the state’s economy entered dire straits from the late 1980s. He also announce that in spite of the socio-economic challenges confronting the state, his administration has taking another significant step in advancing the agenda of job creation and improving the standard of living of the people of the State. On his part, the Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who was represented by a director in the ministry, commended Governor El-Rufai for the various economic programmes initiated by his administration. He announced that President Buhari’s diversification of economy from oil to Agriculture will remain the administration’s top priority. Also speaking, Olams Managing Director for Africa, Mr Venkataramanni Srivathsan, said the group’s investment in hatchery would help boost the nation’s poultry production and in the long run, help reduce the country’s reliance on importation of poultry products. He explained that the project is the largest investment by the company in Nigeria’s domestic food and agricultural production sector after its wheat milling factory in Nasarawa state. Many factories in Kaduna State have closed down over the years due to some emerging challenges ranging from unfavourable business environment to insecurity. To address some of these problems, Governor El-Rufai promised to create an enabling environment and policies that will attract investors into the state for the purposes of creating millions of jobs. http://www.channelstv.com/2016/04/09/el-rufai-flags-off-construction-of-150-million-poultry-in-kaduna/ |

FOLYKAZE: I guess some are performing more than him [b]AWKA- ANAMBRA State government has stepped up efforts aimed at turning the state into the nation’s agricultural base with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with a private investor, Lynden Integrated Farms Ltd, for the establishment of commercial poultry farm in the state. The investment is to gulp about N13 billion. The first phase of the project will entail the setting up of 200,000 broiler houses with 8 pens, 93,000 layer houses with 3 pens, 33,000 pullets house with 1 pen, 2000 birds per house slaughter house and a feed mill. It is expected that by the time the farm goes into full production in three years’ time, its production capacity will double such that the broiler and layer houses would be able to accommodate 400,000 broilers, 186,000 layers and 66,000 pullets. Equity ratio in the investment shows that the company has 90%, the state government 6% and 4% for the host community. Governor Willie Obiano said during the signing ceremony in Awka that the proposed poultry farm, which will be located on a seven hectares of land at Igbariam, will generate no fewer than 250 jobs during construction and 200 permanent jobs, as well as 2000 indirect jobs subsequently. According to the governor, the ultimate objective is to ensure that Anambra becomes the main supplier of eggs in the South East geo –political zone in the next few years. “At the moment most of the day-old chicks sold in the South East are brought from the South West,” the governor said, adding “We want to change that so that all the day-old chicks sold in this area should come from Anambra State.’’ Obiano said his plan was to approach agriculture in two areas namely, creating a favourable and sustainable environment for commercial agriculture to thrive and rolling out programmes that will upgrade the class of machete and hoes -wielding farmers to adapt to the use of new implements and improved seedlings. “We have mapped out specific areas where cassava, rice and maize will best and established cooperatives in those specific areas. We plan to play to our full strength in agriculture,” the governor further said. Chairman of Lynden Integrated Farms Limited, Mr. Clem Nwogbo said his company plans to develop a two-phased modern integrated poultry production and processing farm with day-old chicks and subsequently upgrade its facilities. He explained that the farm has the capacity to position Anambra State as the center of excellence in poultry farming in the South East and South South geo –political zones and commended Governor Obiano for creating the enabling environment that has encouraged investors to flock to Anambra State. Nwogbo further assured that the company would adopt best practices in poultry farming favourable to small scale farmers and support educational initiatives for the benefit of the host community[/b] Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/n13bn-investment-in-poultry-farming-coming-for-anambra/
