Acting President Yemi Osinbajo arrived Argungu town, Kebbi state today, August 1, for the commissioning of the 120,000 metric tones per year WACOT rice mill.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the rice mill took place in February 2016 and 18 months later, the plant is ready for commissioning.

The rice mill is a wholly private venture by WACOT limited, developed with the policy support Kebbi state government and the federal government.

The mill, a N10 billion investment, is supported by an Outgrower Scheme comprising 6,000 rice farmers.

But why we like rice for this country sef? rice, rice, rice everywhere.

Ehn FTC again? Oya Lalasticlala carry go.

Kebbi is one of the few states in Nigeria silently getting things done without propaganda.

Good one, i hope the invest in agriculture starts yielding dividends, They say when hunger is out of a man's Life 70 percent of his problem is solved.
The type of government we are running is part of the problem in Nigeria. if states are allowed to take care of most of their expenses that is no free money from Abuja, most of them will sit tight and think out of the box to increase their internally generated revenue. The ones who does have resource but have man power and Land will partner with the ones who have the financial power to develop their place.
i appreciate the kebbi state governor on the initiatives he has taken in developing agriculture in his state, if the former governors of the state has shown this type of zeal in agriculture, kebbi state will have been a force to reckon with in the North.
By the way what is happening to the partnership with Lagos and Kebbi in terms of rice, I hardly see it in the market or do they harvest it Christmas time only.

Considering doing a roof parapet?
check out price comparison between a concrete cast in suite against polystyrene parapet.
Polystyrene parapet is light weight and doesn't have much impact on the land.
excellent usage on swampy environment.

How much will be the cost of one bag and that of a cup from the initial amount?

Good
While in Rivers State WikeD is revoking C of O of the few foreign investors that agreed to come to do business in that difficult state.

From indorama in ph to rice mill in kebbi. Nigeria is progressing.

Say no to importation of rice.

Other states should copy this.

U are very correct

Only 12 comments since twenty mins ago. Children of hate no ever like better thing. Update about Buhari's health or Fayose's madness and watch them troop out.

Kebbi has really embraced this rice farming while Fayose of Ekiti continues to hawk imported rice to distribute as stomach infrastructure.

EDonHappen:
Why fighting for FTC and not getting anything in return?

Why wasting your comments here and not getting anything in return?

Wake up

Head to Look Naija, make any comment on any post and win N1000 worth of airtime

We are coming to hack your old look.

no free money from Niger Delta not abuja

Being self sufficient is key to growing an economy, you can't be importing almost everything and expect to do well especially in sectors where you have the comparative advantage.

Slowly but surely, we're getting there. Not every time bad news about Nigeria, we can do with some good news too.

Kudos!

exactly!....I can imagine how much would have been done if the economy wasn't in recession

I know nigeria will get there

Nigeria will get there by God's grace

What's APC in this issue? WACOT is a private business owned by the same owner of Chivita (Mr Finc - a German but managed by Indian) The Wacot import rice and rebrand it and sell to Nigerians. They also export sesame seeds, groundnuts and cassia tora they buy from local farmers. Just N10b investment and Buhari has not done anything with trillions of naira recovered.

Is it me or north is moving fast to dominate agricultural/food production in the country.

In case restructuring happens y'all will be buying food from the north.

Our people in the south are too sophisticated to farm. OK o. Una go chop una education and money na

Bros eat your sour grapes in peace.

We are making progress. That's what matters.

Whether it was built by Buhari or not, if the right environment was not created by govt (state or federal) nobody will invest a kobo in Katsina.

Bitter, bitter man.
