The stakeholders’ meeting was attended by officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, Plantation Owners Forum of Nigeria , Oil Palm Growers Association of Nigeria , Okomu Oil, PRESCO Nigeria PLC, and Non-Governmental Organisations . He further said that Governor Obaseki has contributed immensely to ensuring a sustainable oil palm sector in the state, “Governor Godwin Obaseki recently sponsored six persons from Government and Non-Government Organisations to the RSPO-Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil Technical Meeting in Ghana. In fact, he was the only Governor who was physically present at that meeting.
Giving a brief background of the Africa Palm Oil Initiative forum in the state, the facilitator, Mr. Churchill Oboh, said part of the agenda was to identify smallholders through their representatives on the platform since smallholders contribute about 60 per cent of oil palm production.
