To help restore and broaden the state’s Omor Rice
Mill via a Public-Private Partnership agreement,
Joseph Agro Industries Limited (JAI) has signed a
backward Integration Memorandum of
Understanding along with the Anambra State
Government to invest an initial $150 million
(N25billion) towards the project.
The Executive Director of JAI, Ken Irhiogbe, said in a
statement yesterday that China Machinery
Equipment Corporation (CMEC), a leading global EPC
provider, has been appointed technical partners to
support in up-scaling the mill’s current capacity of
18,000 metric tonnes to an initial 100,000 metric
tonnes, development of 14000 hectares of land into
irrigated paddy fields and construction of a green
energy bio mass power plant in Omor using rice husk
as feedstock.
As part of its long-term strategic objective to ensure
sustainability through technology transfer, the
company will collaborate with the Confucius
Institute, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka to
produce Chinese speaking Nigerian students to
understudy best rice technology practice.
Explaining further he highlighted that JAI’s objective
is to produce 167,000 metric tonnes of rice paddies
using 2 cropping seasons while another 15,000
hectares is under negotiation, for development into
highly irrigated rice paddy fields
The Governor of the state, Willie Obiano commended
JAI for its support of the State Government’s cardinal
points and objectives for agriculture and also in the
process providing job opportunities for over 10,000
indigenes by using the out growers scheme.
This development, according to the Governor will
greatly enhance the economic development of the
State and Nigeria.
He emphasized that with the progress already made
by the State in rice production, this project will
almost eliminate the state’s supply deficit.
Obiano observed that the completion of the project
will translate to accelerated development of human
and technical capacity which will in turn enhance rice
production in the State.
He also noted that with the project coming on-
stream, it will have direct impact on the growth of
internally generated revenue for the State.

Some hoods in Anambra..

I hope some Anambra residents take new pics (with a good camera or camphone) as i've seen most of these pics before!

Recent updates on construction at the shopping malls and new hotels would be appreciated, as well as pics of industrial complexes like that of Orient Petroleum; also pics of inner Onitsha streets like Modebe avenue, Oguta road, Ziks avenue, etc.

Anambra is open to the world..

Ongoing work at the 5 star Raddison Blu in Onitsha. This pix was actually taken in march. Will get the current pix soon..

The Governor of Anambra State Chief Willie Obiano
has assured the United Anambra Youths Assembly
(U-AYA) that his administration is commitment
towards the accelerated development of the state
and creation of up to 15,000 job opportunities.
The job opportunities include 10,000 from the state
rice project and another 5000 from a four-star hotel
facility said to be first of its kind in the South-East
zone which he said would engage the youths whom
he described as the active segment of the popu­
lation. Governor Obiano stated this while receiving
the youths who converged at the Government
House Awka yesterday to congratulate him on his
latest victory at the Supreme Court which laid to
rest all disputes concerning his victory in the
gubernatorial election of November 2013 and
declaration as the duly elected governor of Anambra
State.
The governor who was represented by Hon
Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Ogbuefi Tony
Nnacheta, thanked the coalition of Youth groups
from all the wards across Anambra State for coming
to congratulate him and reiterated his resolve to
engage most of them in productive ventures.
According to Governor Obiano, “the series of MoU’s
we signed last including that with Joseph Agro
Limited valued at 150 million US Dollars will ac­
celerate our pace towards self-sufficiency in rice
production. The project has production capacity of
over 100,000 metric tonnes and would employ over
10,000 youths and the milling sector would equally
employ a sizeable number of people.”
I have no doubt that most of you would play active
role in our mechanized agricultural programme
which will also involve Out-Growers Scheme
through the farmers’ Cooperative Societies and
offers viable structure for empowerment. Governor
Obiano reassured.
Earlier, the Coalition of Youths groups led by Special
Assistant to the Governor on youth Mobilization,
Hon Chinedu Obidigbo, told the governor that they
came to congratulate him on his victory at the
courts and to share in his joy, as well as assured
him of their unalloyed support and loyalty in the
quest to make Anambra State safe and secure.
Other youth leaders of APGA also promised
governor Obiano that the party would emerge
victorious with the massive support of U-AYA in
future elections especially the Legislative elections
expected to hold in the state next year.
Last week Anambra State signed the MoU for the
State Rice Production Scheme signed between the
State government and a multi-national agricultural
Company, Joseph Agro Limited at Omor, Ayamelum
Local Government Area ais valued at 150 million US
Dollars while the agreement for a four-Star Hotel
named Raddison Blue both valued at 220 US Dollars
was signed between the State government and a
Real Estate and Entertainment giant, Cardinal De­
veloper and Trust Limited.
