A new ultra modern ethanol manufacturing plant will be commissioned today at Igbesa, Ogun State.

Among those expected to grace the occasion are past president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the host governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, captains of industries and other eminent personalities in the country

The plant is built by Atlantic Distilleries Ltd (AADL), a subsidiary of the Lexcel Group, to produce ethanol, a major component in the production of spirit, using cassava.

In a statement, Tuesday, Production Manager of AADL, Mr. Sowemimo Michael, said that the factory has 10 million liters per annum installed capacity of ethanol; requiring approximately 240 tons of cassava per day at an average of 10 tons per hour.

“After the weighing, it will be transported to the rasper machine where it will go through milling, liquefaction, and fermentation process. In each of these segments, state-of-the-art machines and equipments have been installed to ensure the plant operates at optimal capacity.

“this is certainly the beginning of a new dawn in the wine and spirit industry in Nigeria, and we are setting the pace in line with our company’s objective to remain the number one in the nation’s distillery sector,” he said.

He added that the new plant has further reinforced the company’s objective to remain the market leader, not withstanding competition in the distillery sector as no other distilleries have distillation plants in Nigeria, not to talk of extracting ethanol from cassava. “I will give kudos to the management team because this is another initiative which will make us to be in total control of the quality of our products and other necessary materials and relevant parameters of the ethanol.

Our product will be quite different from any other distilleries company because as far as Nigeria is concerned today we are the only group of companies laying claims to the production of beverages, wine and spirit with the aid of a distillation plant,” he said.

It's time to apply catchment area and derivation policy to job opportunities since it's applicable to universities admission and ND respectively.

Companies in Ogun state, for example, should employ QUALIFIED Ogun indigenes and South Westerners first before other Nigerians.

This policy would make the state governments sit up and create conducive environment for investors.

Is the SW owing salary the reason why investors are boycotting all your villages and sending nearly all the investments entering Nigeria to the SW?


Is the SW owing salary the reason why you and your poor SE folks rush down to the SW for your daily bread?

Nearly all you SE villages collected salary bailout and still don't have anything to show for your taxes and allocations so what's sweating your unproductive, empty and shallow bele


You role model obiango and the best thing i iboland commissions aimless walk and wandering around private village beer factory with state entourage and cameraman and when he's not doing that, he's lying about some imaginary $5 million isi ewu and ukazi export or discovering imaginary crude oil under his akpu bed...

Sucks to be ipob I swear...

but obiano did not collect bailout money and is still paying salaries as at when due unlike the case in the south west... Ogbeni aregberascal for instance collected over 50 billion bailout that will keep the state indebted for 200 years, Ogun where investors are sending all their investments to collected 20 billion naira bailout that will leave ogun indebted for 50 years and yet all these states are owing backlog of salaries. Europeans as we speak are consuming ugu exports from Anambra while we are still searching for where Ambode collected his botteles of crude oil. This things tire me my brother... South west needs help... South west needs obiano magic wand, don't you agree?

An ogogoro factory is nothing to be proud about.
