As part of his resolve towards transforming Enugu State into an investment and industrial hub, the governor, Peter Mbah, has launched a N100 billion worth of oil palm plantation.
Confiance News gathered from his official X handle on Tuesday.
Reacting to the event, Mbah said:
“Today, we officially flagged off the revitalisation of Enugu United Palm Products Ltd (EUPPL). This N100bn partnership with Pragmatic Palms Limited is more than just an investment; it is the triumph of vision over doubt. Despite the scepticism that greeted this ambitious plan, we have shown that with focus and determination, we can unlock the true potentials of our state.
“This project is set to create 3,500 jobs, breathe life into 20,000 hectares of palm plantation, and establish world-class oil mills and refining capacities. We are not simply reviving a business; we are igniting a transformation that will place Enugu at the forefront of agricultural innovation and economic growth in Nigeria.
“Our vision is to make Enugu a premier destination for investment, industry and sustainable development. Today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks a significant step towards realising that goal, proving that with strategic partnerships and determination, we can achieve great things for our state.
“I heartily thank the people of Enugu State for trusting in this vision, and Pragmatic Palms Limited (PPL) for their commitment to its success.
Tomorrow is here!”
Reacting to the investment, an X user known as Henry said: “If all other state Governors start performing and delivering like Peter Mbah, in the next 5 to 6years Nigeria will be a better place for all of us. Good governance is not a rocket science.
Peter Mbah you’re making Ndigbo proud.”
Armani Dinero said: “Nwokem stop all this praising
He is doing what he got elected for.”
