Akeredolu shows off Cassava to Ethanol facility

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has showcased the Cassava to Ethanol facility, as one of the projects to be commissioned today in Ondo State.

Talking about the facility, the Governor said it was the largest in Africa and has the capacity of doing way better than a similar factory developed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in the state.

He also unveiled the state's industrial partnership with Linyi Municipality, which currently houses 6 factories with a total investment of $1 Billion.

Our Cassava to Ethanol Facility is the largest in Nigeria, only likely to be dwarfed by the facility being developed by @NNPCgroup in Okeluse, also in Ondo State. Don't worry about garri prices, we have planted 4000 hectares of cassava to feed the beast. pic.twitter.com/Kk4tYGehQS
