Kwara Govt, World Trade, NEPC Partner on Mass Production of Shea butter

In a bid to encourage Industrialization within the nooks and crannies of Kwara State, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has commissioned a Sheabutter processing plant at Wozibe, a community in Kaiama Local Government Area of the State.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Governor Abdulrazaq said it came at the right time when the state is assiduously synergizing with relevant stakeholders in establishing new economic projects as well as resuscitating the moribund industries in the state.

The Governor, who was represented at the occasion by the Commissioner for Enterprise, Alhaji Abdulwahab Agbaje, disclosed that the state is blessed with Shea tree and is ranked second tree populated state in Nigeria with high economic potentials in Sheabutter production.

The project, according to him, is a tripartite arrangement between the World Trade Organization, Nigerian Export Promotion Council and the host state, Kwara.

The Governor explained further that the project is intended at shifting Sheabutter processing from the local ways which is cumbersome in nature, unhygienic and time consuming to international standard.

He also assured that the state government, in conjunction with the stakeholders, has set machinery in motion to create a conducive environment for appointing a resourceful investor to manage the Sheabutter facility in Kaiama to enhance economic development of the state.

Earlier, the Executive Director and Chief Executive of Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Mr. Segun Awolowo, who was represented by Mr. Afolabi Bello, thanked the Kwara State Government for creating enabling environment and for ensuring the completion of the project which had long been abandoned.

He said the Sheabutter factory project started in October, 2012 in the state and completed by the present administration with similar projects executed in Niger and Oyo states respectively.

Mr. Afolabi then highlighted the benefit of this laudable project which includes; Empowerment of Youths and Rural women folks along the Shea Processing Value Chain, to provide Infrastructural Facilities to the hosting community, to accelerate Government presence in the rural community, to improve non-oil export revenue and foreign exchange earnings among others.

In his remarks, the District Head of Wozibe, Alhaji Mohammed Ibn Mohammed thanked the State Government for projecting the potentials of his people to the outside World, adding that the Sheabutter factory will further serve as an opportunity to empower the youths and women in Sheabutter production.
