Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola, yesterday, commissioned a cassava flour factory, aimed at tackling the growing food insecurity in the state, especially as the state population increases.

Fashola also commissioned a 50, 000 capacity automated five unit broiler houses, 64 tonnes per day feedmills, 200 unit of two bedroom apartment for farmers and 2.34 kilometre road network, within the Agric Training Institute, Araga, Epe.

The governor, who spoke at the graduation ceremony of 286 trainee farmers and the inauguration ceremony of the projects at the Agric Training Institute, Araga, Epe, said that the factory could produce 32 tonnes of cassava flour per day.

He stated that these showed that the solution to increased food production locally was about developing new ideas that will create opportunities for the citizens.

He added that there isn’t simple solution to the problem but what is required of us, is to continuously be innovative, focus, truthful and honest about what we are doing.

You are a fool, Fashola is simply trying to key into the cassava revolution policy of the FG.

Cassava flour policy in Nigeria is decades old and way way before your otuoko dullard stepped into Aso Rock, Fashola's CASSAVA flour idea germinated before your oruoko dullards sabi pronounce cassava bread.

Shebi your otuoko dullard was a governor just like Fashola, you mind showing us one cassava plant he planted or one classroom he built or even anything gan sef?


Btw, what's wrong with that as long as the taxpayers benefits from government actions instead of worthless and non actionable policies and proclamations by useless and incompetent people that just talk and never able to back up their talk with anything on behalf of the people..?

In your warped, sad and pathetic world, the folks that delivers on behalf of the people are the bad guys, but the do nothing and incompetent fools that takes your money and do nothing for you are the good guys.

And you wonder why you losers are still begging for a common bridge for 30 years and counting even though your lazy, crooked and incompetent leaders collects taxes and allocations on your behalf...

You mentally corrupt losers spew the dumbest and the most rretarded nonsense very..

GEJTILL2019: can't u type anything without insulting the president of your father? aseju e tin poju !! I pity u

Unfortunately for you, your worthless president insults you and your father more than mine.

Oponu, Fashola is strategising to benefit from the cassava policy thrust of the FG, deal with it.



While you slate the cassava policy of the FG, your paymasters are lining up to benefit from it .

Shame on you oponu Meta.

Are you minding the village dwellers....lmao

This agbameta is a deranged fool.
Your paymaster is keying into the good policy of the FG, just like many states especially in the north have been doing for some time now without shouting it on the rooftop.

150000 eggs? That's too small for a local govt project tackles of a state like Lagos. I know one farm for Kwara that produce more in a day.

Former US ambassador with Fashola at LASG Songhai Farms.

Oops, NOW you see where the generated IGR of last year is going and that of the coming year will be an increase >>? You can abuse all you like, that is another 286 direct farmers (not counting associated job opportunities and spin offs). You can keep with your delusional small government and low taxes in Delta State! Oh it is oyel money...mean while Rivers State and Edo State have the same oil but are rolling up their sleeves, getting to work and digging in deep! See you at the top jawe Rivers and Edo State! >>

@OP

Nigerians are topnotch at corruptible practices. Who got the contract to produce the worthless regals and aprons scripted with “Eko Oni Baje oo” and worn by those nepotistic beneficiaries?

Bloody lout.

solomon111: Btw,there's nothing massive in 150,000 eggs.

Maybe not, but that is 150,000 more than produced in the 5 states of Iboland! Oh, and it is a starting production figure! If anyone had a business that produces 150,000 eggs all guaranteed to be sold locally on the first day, that is a millionaire in making because before you know it, he would be scaling that to 1,500,000 eggs per day! Well, I don't blame you sha, you are used to only spare parts business!

DerideGull: @OP

How does that concern you? Well, it was made by Yorubas and in Yorubaland! Now "go and die" if you are mad that it was not imported or the IGR of Yoruba land has just increased with that single ceremony and aprons! Imagine saying it is "worthless"? NA JEALOUSY no kill ibo man on top Yoruba progress!

Good move
