Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, has commissioned the Sunshine Chocolate Factory in Alade Idanre, Idanre local government area of the state.

The factory a Public Private Partnership between Ondo State Government and a United States company, SPAGNVOLA CHOCOLATIERS, was established for the purpose of job creation and economic development of the state, using cocoa value-chain.

Governor Akeredolu said the occasion was remarkable in view of the fact that what his administration inherited from the immediate past government was described by the facility consultant contracted by that same government as not suitable for a chocolate factory as a result of lack of modern equipment which have now been imported by his administration.

Arakunrin Akeredolu said to make the Sunshine Chocolate Factory productive and sustainably profitable, the factory has been extricated from all forms of political control and influences.

To guarantee constant supply of cocoa beans to the factory which has initial processing capacity of about 28 Metric Tons of Cocoa to 2.8Million of Chocolate, Governor Akeredolu said the Oda Cocoa Plantation which is over 1,744 Hectares has been resuscitated and made functional with over 250 Cocoa Farmers upscaling daily production from the farm.

The governor said to consolidate its foothold as the number one cocoa producer in Nigeria, his administration has established a modern cocoa farm at Ijugbere Camp in Ilale, Owo Local Government Area on 8,400Hectatres of land with the capacity to accommodate 2,000 youths who would be resident on the farm with a minimum of four Hectares of Land per youth.

Ondo no be edo..ondo na lagos

Kestolove:
Ondo no be edo..ondo na lagos

ONDO IS ONDO! Aketi is working, Ondo State is working!

Nice one there, industrialization is the right way to go...

The forthcoming election in Ondo state won't be an easy ride for Aketi, I pray the whole electoral process will be rancour free like the one we just had in Edo.


After that we will all beam our watchful eyes on Lagos state for its liberalisation from the claws of one anachronistic hegemon starting with the senatorial election on October 31 to the full #Back2Iragbiji campaign in 2023.

Nigerian politicians are competent and active only few months to elections. After election, suffering continues.

Ondo people will be foolish to believe all these gimmicks. If una like make una liberate una selves, na una sabi. kini kó mi be?

Na now they just get sense.. with the abundance of cocoa 4 dat idanre side. It's one thing they should have been producing since.


I like this. who says states can't have their industries, No be everybody go get oil for their land. Turn any resources that's in abundance as part of your income. like that you employ and generate massive income. A state can have it's own cotton industry ,process it and export.. or even what's there to gather tailors and make the company a brand . Put in place machines, everything needed.

Aketi will win convincingly with a wide margin come October 10. The people are ready to reward his great performance in Infrastructural developments, Industrialization, Road construction, Education, agriculture and other sectors with their votes. Ondo People are not ingrates. Besides, ZLP has already divided the opposition votes and the PDP is not strong in Ondo State. It will be a big win for Aketi.

Lool you think the Chocolate Factory is the only thing the Governor has done on Industrialization? Google Ondo-Linyi Industrial Hub in Ore and be wowed. The Chocolate Factory is another fruit of his industrial revolution in Ondo State.

This further shows you're not Yoruba let alone an Ondo man, pls stop masturbating on Ondo politics, we vote based on achievements here not based on party. that is why mimiko is the first person to secure 2nd term in Ondo.

And never again use The word "Liberate" for ondo people. We are on our own and not under you.

Has your state ever voted in this manner?

1999 - AD (Ondo North)
2003 - PDP (Ondo South)
2008 - LP (Ondo Central)
2014 - PDP (Ondo Central)
2016 - APC (Ondo North)
2020 ----

mind you
If Aketi wins it's his achievements that makes him wins.

if Aketi wins, it's the ZLP and PDP that makes him win.

Then What do you mean by "we should liberate ourselves"? That statement is insultive.

Benevento:
hmmm, This is the time for all South Westerners to rally around Tinubu.

whilst loosing at the federal level is no big deal, Tinubu and APC must not loose SW.

should APC loose SW, our noisy brothers from the east would likely take all the glory.

this would not be a slap to Tinubu's face but the Oduduwa nation at large.

Yoruba roonu, una too dey gentle, leave all these accomodation okoto talk, can't we be brutal like the Hausas/Fulanis?

You want to be brutal like your Masters?
Must you always follow their steps? Can't you liberate yourself?

PDP and ZLP combined can vote out Aketi but for now Aketi still have upper hand.
Because.

Agboola Carry supporters from Apc to ZLP
mimiko Carry supporters from PDP to ZLP.

Una Don see why this race is a 3 horses race?

Davash22 the famous Nairaland better.


You need to liberate yourself first from the financial shackle of your village people.

So that next time you would not be begging pocohantas for 5,000naira.

Seems you guys are allergic to liberation.
