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/

Government should leave these things to private investors. They only know how to establish various ventures but cannot manage them.

DOn't mind the rogues in Power in SOuth South.

I am telling you, El Rufai is a potential President and by the end of his tenure in Kaduna, we will need no Prophet to tell us that.

I have not seen any Governor take PRACTICAL and PROACTIVE steps to cut waste and set the State in the right course like 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]

Anambra will invest 13bn

Kaduna will invest $150m

Even at the official n199 to $1, $150m is > n13bn.
