Industrialization holds the key for the emancipation of the masses from poverty and hardships, it is widely believed that when the masses in any society are busy in gainful employments, the incidences of strife, youth restiveness and other forms of social ills will take a back seat as everyone will be too busy or too well to do to remember to involve themselves in social ills. After all a hungry man is always an angry man.
There was a vegetable oil manufacturing company built for the purpose of producing and marketing vegetable oil in the old Anambra state. The company was located in Nachi, Udi local government area of present day Enugu state. The company was doing well initially and we can all remember with nostalgia, their radio and TV adverts which were always in the air. The company was a house hold name.
The company must have been allowed to fail, and later on it was burnt, the carcass of the company is still visible for all to see. The government of Enugu state should please wade in and rebuild this company , then staff it with honest men and women who will have a mandate of repositioning the company and taking a huge chunk of the market share of vegetable oil in Nigeria.

Hi there worked on the refinery project at nachi from its immediate outset in 1977 for the main contractor, integration. Was still working there after numerous restarts until 1987. Made some great friends both in Enugu and and sad to see it in its present condition.

ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeleteWhats your thought on being part of a private company that wants AVOP to come on stream again?
Sincerely,
Dr Chris Ugwu (Fmr Head of Service, Enugu State)
I had a peripheral interest, or rather involvement as Drake & Scull Manager at PH responsible for clearing material for AVOP. I came close to tears when I beheld its state now. The story I was fed was dismal. I could be of some assistance should its resuscitation be contemplated.
