Outgoing governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has extolled the virtues of the first indigenous military governor of the South-Eastern State, Udoakaha
He said, “Let us provide enough feeder for this factory if we do that the factory will run well and be sustained and government is opening this factory for the benefit of all Akwa Ibom people. If you have some acres of tomatoes plantation or pepper, bring it here we buy it at a competitive price as anywhere in the world and then we turn it into a purry and we will make a lot of money from it.”
Governor Emmanuel therefore urged the youths to take ownership of the Tomato Paste Factory with 5-8 tonnes per -day capacity processing line, which will create economic value, food and value chains, stressing that “whatever we are putting here, protect it, and the people working here watch out for it. I believe this place will have more tomatoes to process than the capacity that is installed so that government can be encouraged to introduce a second and third line.
He thanked the Ministry of Trade and Investment which supervised the project and all those who contributed towards the completion of the factory, expressing optimism that the plant will increase in its capacity of production and cultivation of more tomatoes to keep the value chain flowing.
