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..

If Wike had done an inch of what Udom has done we would have praised him to high heaven in Rivers state. First was Ibom Air and now this?

Any avenue that will lead to job creation is what governance is all about. Not building of overhead bridges to the exclusion of other sectors.

Nice one.

Cross River and Akwa Ibom governors are trying really hard to repair the bad reputation of their people.

Why can't states building a oil refineries petrol and Diesel and so on

How many coconut dey for Nigeria?

Skankamola:
The role of the govt actually is creating a good environment for businesses to thrive, i.e land, capital, security, power, man power development etc. So you as an individual can grow your business safely, its that simple but for our govt....

In addition, they can do business in partnership with private companies. This is why we have NNPC. But it seems they are only interested in the oil industry. This reveals their corrupt mindset.

Airty:
This present administration in Akwa Ibom state will go down as the worst administration in the history of Akwa Ibom state.

The Governor came with industrialization mantra, seven yrs down the line, youth unemployment ratio is among the highest (if not the highest) in the country.

The Governor is jumping from one state to the other campaigning for President just to seek relevant, while retired teachers are languishing in poverty. The Governor has not paid gratuity since 2015 upon all the allocation the state is collecting monthly.

I am highly disappointed to say least.

he's the best among go and hustle stop blaming the hard working governor..

udom has done 90% of what other governors couldn't do in this adminstration but you people hater of udom, akpabio taut..

Lol NNPC is a cash cow, they just sit there and share money, compare NNPC and sinopec. Tribalism and nepotism has finished all govt institutions.

smh profusely, this primary production that would be abandoned sooner or later. I hope this would solve Nigerian problems.

Hahahahahaha

NoQualmz:
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.

Something they will soon abandon ; or Sell to private individuals who will probably be their friends . If you know politicians you will understand

Akwa ibom is not your regular Nigeria state ..
This investment is on PPP scale

bobchigar:
Nice!. My concern is how to get raw material in large quantity for processing. I hope that they have invested in coconut palm plantations for steady supply of raw material.

yes they have massive land cutting across 3 local governments and Akwa Ibom houses the highest numbers of coconut stands in Nigeria ..

Congratulations to Akwa Ibom State.

Kudos to Governor Udom Emmanuel.

TruthinAction:
This is my best news in recent time. Our leaders should do more of this. Build industries and let our youths be gainfully employed.

Every local government chairman should build at least one industry in his local government. While state Governors should build not less than 20 new industries during their tenure. But they hardly think in this direction. They cover it up by saying that government has no business being in business. But they are still holding on to the petroleum business.

Our lawmakers should take away so many things from the exclusive list so that state can handle them.

Our youths have turned out to become criminals because the government has failed them.

Governor Udom, you tried but we need more of this.

Udom has build up to 20 industries already and more to come

Zulu2022:
