Anambra Records $5m Vegetable Exports To Europe- The Vanguard by HungerBAD: 3:37am On Jul 25, 2016 |
AWKA— In a bid to underscore the importance of diversifying the economy and attracting more industries to Anambra state, Chief Willy Obiano has confirmed that the concise Economic Blueprint, made up of The Four Pillars of Development; including Agriculture, Industrialization, Trade and Commerce and Oil and Gas he developed on assumption of office has started yielding dividends. The governor who spoke in Abuja in an interactive session he had with the People of Anambra living in the North central part of the country at the Transcorp Hilton stated that the state is now a socially stable, business-friendly environment attracting both indigenes and foreigners to seek wealth-creating opportunities. To this end, he told the audience which included the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Dr Oby Ezekwesili both PDP and APC members of the National Assembly, former Governor Chinweoke Mbadinuju and several others that Anambra State Investment Agency, ANSIPPA, charged with the mandate of attracting and fast-tracking investments in the state has so far attracted over $4.2 billion deals to the state. The latest investment he confirmed was sealed on Tuesday last week with Zolt Energy Limited to build a 40 megawatts Embedded Power Generating Plant in Ogbaru. When completed in the next 18 months as scheduled, all the power generated from it will be distributed mainly in Anambra State. On the state of agriculture, Obiano who was giving a score card of his two and half years stay in office disclosed that “in January this year, Anambra made headlines when it became the first state in Nigeria to export vegetables (Ugu and Onugbu) valued at $5million to Europe. At the same time, our locally produced brand of rice known as Anambra Rice recently emerged the Best Rice in Africa at an African Products Forum in Lagos. Anambra Rice was adjudged better and more wholesome than other competing brands from South Africa, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Namibia and Cameroon. Our agricultural sector has also attracted investments from 7 companies valued at $1.011bn while the large industrial farms have pushed our local rice production from 90,000 metric tons to 210,000 metric tons. At this rate, we shall soon surpass the 320,000 metric tons we consume in Anambra State per annum” Obiano told the capacity crowd at the Congress Hall that the Oil and Gas Advisory Committee headed by Dr.Emmanuel Egboga, the former Special Adviser to the President on Petroleum Matters has been charged with drafting a comprehensive Blueprint for the Oil & Gas sector and advising the State on the necessary steps that would ensure the recognition of Anambra as the 10th Oil Producing State in Nigeria. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/anambra-records-5m-vegetable-exports-europe/ 46 Likes

Do you know if the exports went through the Enugu airport or had to go through Lagos or what other transport channel was used? Thanks. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Somewhere in the West somebody is sharing yams without oil and pepper to the indigenes of his state... Somewhere in the East another is busy exporting and making more money cos the indigenes of his state are hardworking... The rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer... Take it or leave it all fingers are not equal. God save Nigeria God help Ekiti state God bless the Light of the nation 77 Likes 4 Shares |

DonMaxxy: Ibos, always envious of Yorubaland. No one in Yoruba economical threads even remembers Iboland. But before Ibos can celebrate, they must mention Yorubas as if they have complex issues. The same sets of people begging in Ekiti are also begging in Abia for stomach infrastructure. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

That's a good one from Gov Obiano. I still wonder why the palm oil and palm fruit extract I use here are written made in Ghana when our people can process it better. Please, he should also think in that direction. I'm glad Anambra is waking up but I still thank Peter Obi for laying a good foundation. 33 Likes |

anonimi: Does it matter? Really? Why stoke embers of tribalism unnecessarily? Vegetable arrived in Europe or it didn't? Can't you just laud the state & K.I.M? DonMaxxy, Will it diminish from your celebration of fortunes if you don't go gyrating in front of your neighbour's edifice? 15 Likes 1 Share |

I love obiano so much! One of the best Governors in Nigeria. He doesnt make noise but rather his actions speak loudest. This is how to be opposition. The day obiano will open his mouth to criticize buhari everybody will listen and suppport. Unlike that slowpoke in ekiti shouting like a market woman 15 Likes 3 Shares |
