Evbuomwan, along with the Lead Consultant, ESOPP, Mr. Tunji Awomomo, presented the documents to the Chief Operating Officer, Dufil Prima Foods Plc, Mr. Madhukar Khetan, and the representative of Agri Palm Limited, Mr. Joseph Umolu, among other oil palm investors in the state.
On his part, Awomomo said the Obaseki-led administration is committed to making the state an investment hub and growing its economy through agriculture.
He added that the Edo State Oil Palm Programme is part of projects by the state government to resuscitate the oil palm sector in the state for global competitiveness, adding that the investment would revolutionalise the sector which will have a spiral effect on other aspects of the economy.
Awomomo further noted that with the commitment of about N69 billion by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in ESOPP, the programme will bolster the growth of the oil palm sector and create a catalytic effect in the food, pharmaceutical, beauty and cosmetics sub-sectors of the state.
