Misplaced priority, u built the largest rice mill in Africa in a place that can't feed it up 10% input, that's a wrong business concept, what of if those states decide to build there own rice mill, were will you get feedstock.

The reason for building rice mills is to feed people, but upside down mentality and low-grade thinkers like you still think building rice mills to feed Nigerians is a misplaced priority?


So, not building rice mills is a good priority?

The insane and crazy nonsense we read on NL sometimes is Yaba left variety.

You people just want to criticize and show bad bele by any means necessary, even when you don't make sense.

Obito555:
Nice development
Rice is the most consumed food in most part of the world.

Not true.
Easy to verify
In the WEST Major carbohydrates are Maize,wheat and potatoes
In Nigeria Cassava and millet are very important

What do you know about business
How much chocolate do we produce in Africa
How much cocoa do they produce in Europe?
The target market is Lagos

The largest refineries in the world are in India,Korea and Singapore countries that import crude
If you do not have access to their numbers/accounts You are in no position to judge the business case

There may be a case for establishing a plant in Kebbi but there are security challenges and getting products to Lagos would be a challenge
If in future Nigeria grows into a rice exporter then the plant is strategically placed

Nice one

Let other state show what they do

How much is a plot of land at Imota now?.

Bonaventura:
This is a welcome development.

Meanwhile, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State completely abandoned agriculture and made people believe he focused on a facade infrastructural development.

The truth is that just like Buhari's Daura, Dave made his tiny town a haven and left the entire state in shambles.

The few multicoloured bridges and building he did are just for aesthetics. Most of them do not extend beyond 2km into the interior. They are done along where people transit to other states so that they can be seen.

Keep llying..

even your dangote refinery is not a well thought out idea, why building a refinery in the age of disruptive technology like electric car and truck becoming mainstream, he should get ready to lubby and manipulate the system to thrive, as for your White elephant rice mill, after 3yrs we shall see. Nigeria with 2000000000millionplus mouth to feed cannot export rice.the more you produce the more your geometric population demolish it

Funny how you claim to be wiser than the richest black man in the world..so you are saying the richest black man is a fool for investing $19bn into a refinery when electric cars are becoming mainstream?

You should ask yourself which part of the world is embracing EVs and which part of the world isn't.then tell me where he built his refinery?

When did he ever tell you his target market is the western world

President Buhari recently commissioned the largest Rice Mill in Africa and the 2nd largest in the world by production capacity in Imota, Lagos state.

The project has been in the making for over 6 years. The plan to build a new rice Mill in Imota, Lagos was first launched by the previous administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and completed by the current Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwoolu.

A 2.5 hectare land was chosen in Imota to host the plant.

It features 16 silos of 2500MT each bringing it's total storage capacity to 40,000MT.

The plant is built to process 200,000MT of rice Paddy annual. No rice Mill across Africa comes close in terms of capacity.

To feed the plant with such quantity of rice. Partnership were finalized with other Nigerian states including Ekiti, Benue, Borno, Sokoto and Kwara.

The plant has two production lines capable of producing 650 bags of rice every hour or 2.4 million bags every year.

The job potential is around 250,000 for both direct and indirect as stated by the Lagos state commissioner for Agriculture, Abisola Olusanya.

Rice importation cost Nigeria about $1.65 Billion.
This rice Mill aims to change that eventually.

I think we need to do some sorting.

What's the actual capacity of the mill, and then compare it other Mills in the country.

how many times dem go commission this mill ?

oz4real83:
how about Ambode that envisioned and started the project?

stop lying ambode did not envison the project or start it......the project was envisioned by Tinubu, Fashola started the project and secured the land needed to start the project, in fact the contractors had moved to site before ambode took over then told them to stop because he wanted to expand its capacity.....if you no know road just say so and ask..... ..

Oromoni619:
Dem go say na .t.....bu


You know na

well it sure as he'll not o....I you know na.....

DMerciful:
All these propaganda will not help Tinubu.

He will not be president even if they amplify their disproportionate achievements versus available resources.

which resources? You think Lagos is anambras mate? Your oga said he kept 75 billion in state coffers and all of you are saluting him, meanwhile someone else ensured his state could generate over 100billion when he was leaving which today the state igr is over 700billion and you have mouth to be talking about available resources......are you not ashamed of yourself?

adeniyi65:
From Ambode to SanwoOlu. Continuation matters a lot.a welcomed development.we want more of it across all states.

stop it......the project was envisioned under Tinubu, Fashola bought the lands and had contractors on site before ambode even dreamt of governship, no dey get selective memory......the project would have been done under ambode but he stopped the work and asked them to expand the project.

AmuDimpka:
even Ogun and Osun

Yes even Ogun and Osun.........

That means you are more resourceful than the news outlets that carried the news because they never wrote what you said!
I think you want to attribute this to Tinubu in one way or the other but you have to check history about Lagos. Lagos had positioned it self to be mega city since the era of Lateef Jakande.you don't need to attribute present government achievement to Tinubu if the documents do not say that.
Go and vote your choice candidate in peace.either side of the coin when they get in to their offices.we will all be here to witness it together.

crude oil is not going anywhere, even for electric cars, it has components from crude oil.

You guys should try and appreciate development projects for once, if there is none you will still complain

so lagos should go and build rice mill in nassarawa or taraba?

comments like this scare me for our dear country. Are we really ready for restructuring?

its already going, developed countries are no longer building refineries, they are mining lithium and building battery factories, that is the future, you may not see it, but people that knows what up knows, 80% of new cars in 5yrs would be electric.we know that there are derivatives but the main product is PM's and diesel
