Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi on Sunday commended Dangote Group for setting up a rice mill in the state, saying it would create employment and boost the economy.

Bagudu who visited the factory site at Saminaka in Shanga Local Government Area of the state, said the investment would also rack up the rice value chain and add value to local farmers, Igbere TV reports.

The governor’s visit was announced in a statement on Sunday in Birnin Kebbi by his Press Secretary, Abubakar Dakingari.

Facilities for the factory, which will have 32 silos are being installed as at the time of the visit by Bagudu, who was accompanied by legislators and top government officials.

“I must commend Dangote Group of Companies especially Alhaji Aliko Dangote for initiating the project in Kebbi State.

“This will go a long way in providing employment to our youth as well as boosting the economy of the state and Nigeria at large “, he said.

Bagudu used the opportunity to invite more investors to Kebbi to set up more factories.

Similarly, the governor made a stop over at a local rice mill in Yauri where he interacted with some women processing local rice.

The women told the governor that the price of rice has fallen which according to them was an indication that Federal Government’s rice initiative is working.

A man with vision!!

This is the only man I can vote comfortably whenever he decides to join politics...

100%Sure, he will do better!!

Local rice or no rice.

That's a good development.

This guy is going into rice production? Dem go lock that border forever.

This boarder closure is for political gains, and some people will think that they eat local rice in Aso rock. Ok, why can't local rice be sold at 5k per bag since it is local, why 15-18k? 2015 foreign rice was sold at 10k cos it is foreign. Why not stop the importation of Generators let's fix our Power generation, transmittion and distribution since Buhari sabi sth. NONSENSE

Wonderful opportunity grabbed, while some billionaires are lamenting about how bad the government is when they are there doing nothing to better the economy of the country.

Nigerian only sure odd.

This man is a sure man
He said soon we are going to be exporting rice.
That was the first time I believe that statement in my life because I have been hearing it from the government for more than a decade
Hello please sell Nigeria to Dangote

God bless Alhaji Aliko Dangote

Brilliant from Aliko.

Nigeria is witnessing an agricultural revolution but the wailers are sleeping on a bicycle.

If he need begging I will do so because he knows his left from his right, with the ability to turn around this country which he is already doing in his little way.

That's the way to go.
All hails Alh Aliko Dangote

Good. Dangote please spread your Biz to Ekiti and Ondo States.

The real owner of NIG

You'll see he'll be given the only license to import rice, the government and this guy are very smart.

Their plans are now manifesting,

Now we know.

Will I ever be rich like dangote sha.....

Why Kebbi?

He indicated interest in rice production and they closed the border.

He only survives in businesses he has monopoly over, backed up by the government.

We know what happened to other cement sellers during Obj regime.

32 silos is massive

U call this vision, if he had a vision he wud hv join B4 now to compete with foreign rice and also try to win d market,

But the opportunistic fox had to wait for d govt to implement a policy to favour him.

Hausa Amaka.

How many change ur miserable papa get?
Otepu!

Most likely. And these ones are here praising him

Let’s see if same support will be given to any easterner who tries to go into the business. If they are really genuine about local rice production.

opalu:
Is it true that Dangote influenced the Border Closure so that his own Rice can dominate the market?
