Kaduna State governor Uba Sani has flagged off the constitution of $50 million soya bean oil refining plant owned by a private company in Igabi local government area of the state.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Governor Sani said, the soya bean oil refining plant with expected production capacity of 500,000 litres per day, will contribute to the economic development of Kaduna and Nigeria by creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs across the production value-chain.
The governor said the direct foreign investment will enable transfer of technology and technical know-how related in the area of soya extraction and refinery processes, thereby leading to the development of local expertise in the field.
Sani said, “I am delighted to perform the groundbreaking for the construction of the $50 million Soya Bean Oil Refining Plant by Sunagrow International Oil Ltd at Kutungare, Igabi LG of Kaduna State.”
In his welcome address, the managing director of Sunagrow International Oil Limited, Mr Ritesh Argawal, said the company was inspired by Governor Sani’s vision for the economic development of Kaduna State.
