”We have assessed the factory and I can confirm that it’s standard location and the calibre of staff on ground provide strong justification for the partnership.

“Under the current Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, the commission will provide the needed assistance to enhance the company’s daily production capacity of 250,000 metric tonnes.

”In addition to increasing daily starch production, NDDC will assist the company acquire land, provide raw materials and skilled labour,” he said.

Antai said that the commission was planning to collaborate with non-governmental organisations to boost food production in the country.

Earlier, the Managing Director of the factory, Mrs Tonye Ekiyor, appealed for partnership with government and private organisations to enhance food production in the region.

Ekiyor requested for NDDC’s assistance to enable the company to expand its daily production capacity in order to address the rising cost of living in the country, particularly in the Niger Delta region.
