Alright. . Click like if you think it's nonsense

Ambode is a silent achiever.
This is another drive at increasing the state's IGR and relieving pressure on the dollars for rice importation not forgetting job creation.

How will lagosians benefit from this as regards working in that factory or they will pack and come down to kebbi; can't this happen in lagos ? Cos the way this country is going is All man for him state oh

9ja4show:


You are not making sense ,its better Lagos state buys the already prepared rice than to build factory that kebbi people will say they own someday!

Can't it work in lagos ? Answer that first

QuotaSystem:
Dangote is building a Petro-chemical plant in Lagos (SW)...

Lagos is building a Rice Plant in Kebbi(NW)....

Meanwhile some people are bombing themselves back into the 19th century....and some others are sacrificing themselves to stop one Nigeria.

Diversification in action. The day will soon break.

LockDown69:

We don't need people with mindsets like you in this country, receive sense abeg! Smh

Shym3xx:


So, he needs rice plant to increase the IGR of a state with huge untapped potentials like Lagos, with so many industries and human resources, no?

You must be from Ibadan cos only someone with amala logic would posit something as utter ridiculous as this.

9ja4show:


Ok your eye go clear soon

gbadexy:

You try to sound enlightened but end up sounding like someone immature.
There is no harm in diversifying the state's source of income.
Besides, it hasn't stopped him from maximizing the state's potential, with more to come through the lagos oil field and proposed refinery to be built here.
You don't have to agree with me, neither should I agree with you. You could just easily ignore my post or give us other areas you feel he should tap into in the state.

so lagos no get land again? or may be dem wan use idea to spy kebbi

Shym3xx:
I honestly don't know where they pluck these terrible and myopic leaders from.

What's Lagos' business with non-lucrative rice plant gazillion of mile away, when it can focus of its industries and continue to look for ways to maximise revenue from there? Must these people always tag along in stupidity?

Even if you're interested in agriculture, why not stay in the SW? This is the type of mentality that messed up Lagos.

Anyway, this is what happens when a glutton and an obese guy becomes a governor cos all he'll care about is food.

YourNemesis:


But How about Dangote building a refinery, and a fertilizer plant in the SW?
If they own you, and you do not own them back, then you will be forever indebted...take note.

Shym3xx:


No. Your logic sound like amala logic, hence I labelled it that way.

Okay, can you list what Lagos would benefit from this and cite an example anywhere else on the planet where a megacity, with the same potentials as Lagos has ever undertaken such a venture?

The problem with a lot of the followers/leaders in naij is the fact that most of you can't see beyond ya nostrils. And it's synonymous with being lazy thinkers and educated illiterates. Government shouldn't even be involved in agriculture, in the first place - apart from granting subsidies to farmers; providing lands for them; and helping them secure favourable loans. Then you have a state like Lagos in need of an identity, that's meant to focus on its massive industries and the financial sector - getting entangled in something it has no business with, thus complicating things in the process. It doesn't make any sense whatsover.

Government policies shouldn't be about tagging along with what's in vogue - you need to always focus on ya strengths when it comes to governance. You can't be a jack-of-all-trades - you complicate things by doing that.

Shym3xx:


What's the correlation between a private businessman trying to maximise profit with the location of his investment and a government? You're not making any sense whatsoever.

I888:
Lagos has no land for commercial farming. They have sold the better parts off. I foresee this happening more in the future as they will be buying up lands in other states cos they don't have land anymore.

tbaba1234:

Rice production is a massively untapped industry in Nigeria. If Lagos can collaborate with some private professionals to set up a factory in Kebbi, the revenue potential for the state is enormous.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in inter-state collaboration. In fact, Lagos with its status should be engaged more in it. It will increase the state's influence and importance in local politics. Lagos can influence Kebbi's position on key national issues for instance.

There is no rule that limits the state from exploring revenue opportunities in other areas.
