VP OSINBAJO UNVEILS NIGERIA’S FIRST COCONUT OIL FACTORY, FRIDAY

All is now set for the commissioning of the St. Gabriel Coconut Oil Factory in Mkpat Enin, Akwa Ibom State, following the successful test running of the factory.

The multi-billion naira value-chain facility which would create thousands of job opportunities for Akwa Ibom people wil be inaugurated on Friday by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo,SAN following its completion by the Turkish firm, VKS.

The factory is expected to employ over 3000 direct workers and has the capacity to crack 1,000,000 nuts a day.

The St. Gabriel’s Coconut Oil Factory Project, a major industrial investment by Akwa Ibom State Government comprises of a factory complex complete with administrative offices, production areas, technical spaces, industrial firefighting systems, water treatment plants, effluent treatment plants and residential quarters for technical and managerial staff as well as parking areas for several raw materials bearing vehicles.

The project is located in the serene environment of Ikot Akpan Okop village, along the East West Road in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area. The project execution was flagged off by Governor Udom Emmanuel during a ground-breaking ceremony on May 24th, 2017.

Recall that a whooping 2million fast yeilding hybrid coconut trees had been planted on an 11,000 hectare of land at the St Gabriel plantation in a swampland spanning Mkpat Enin, Ikot Abasi and Eastern Obolo Local Government Areas. Similarly, the Government has ensured that coconuts are cultivated at Okobo, Okon -Eket and other locations in the State.

This makes it the largest coconut plantation in Africa, and the most ambitious coconut project in the world. All this is a conscious effort by the visionary leadership of Governor Udom Emmanuel to prepare Akwa Ibom State, which is Nigeria highest crude oil producing State from over reliance on petroleum..

It will be operated by a Turkish firm

Opening of it is not the big deal but continuity is what matter

Indeed, the governor is trying.

Naso good to see progress unlike some cannibals like that , they are now raping themselves

Kudos to the governor .
That's a very nice thing to do at this time of election .
May it be of great benefit to the state and the nation in general .

Now the major challenge is :
Hope it wouldn't shut down after 6 month or 2 years of operation or when the governor left office ?

2. Hope people wouldn't have to pay bribe before they get employment there ?

3. Hope the point man wouldn't be a god -son or god-daughter of one big man ?

4. Hope adequate provisions were put in place to make sure the equipment were maintained and the workers safety guranted ?

5 . hope the workers would not cry after some years that they haven't been paid for a long time ,and their families are suffering hunger ?

6. Hope there is nothing else of great importance that f I didn't mentioned ?

Finally. . .we will be having a well refined St. Gabriel coconut oil in the market, this will also be good for cosmetic industry.

Lemme be ready to cook coconut rice with this oil.

So despite all the noise about this coconut refinery, it is just going to be commissioned.

Udom hasn't done anything about human infrastructure development, level of unemployment is out of the roof, poverty is stark and unbelievably high, given the amount he gets every month, what has he done with the monies?

He is the worst governor Akwa has had, so far.

One love from rivers.
Mynd44 do the need biko.

Is the refinary auto-mated ? 100%

Beautiful ...akwa ibom shoulda been a South western state they love progress

Akwa Ibom State keeps making progress, dear youths of Akwa Ibom please protect your infrastructures & investments in your state, shun cult wars & crimes because it will make your state insecure. This will drive investors away from your state which we can't afford to lose because of the high rates of unemployment in our dear state.
Each investment provides jobs for you or your brother or a resident in the state that will pay rent, buy your farm produce, pay transport and keep our dear economy, if you see any body sabotaging this infrastructures call your youths president beat up the culprit before inviting police

Una don start again. In d next two years the place will become a habitat for snakes and frogs.

Akwaibom,Despite claiming to have everything has one of the worst deficiency of human capital development.All her pple seems to be running out of the beautiful state to go and do house help in Lagos or to cook Afang soup. Just like Ebonyi pple too...despite ‘Umahi is working’ they’re also running away from their state to go sell gala and ice cream/Abacha/push wheel barrow in Anambra state thereby constituting a yearly fresh nuisance to host communities.
