The Enugu State Government on Thursday flagged off the N100 billion revitalisation of the Enugu United Palm Products Ltd (EUPPL).
Governor Peter Mbah disclosed this through a post he shared on his verified X account on Thursday night.
“Today, we officially flagged off the revitalisation of Enugu United Palm Products Ltd (EUPPL),” Mbah announced.
“This N100bn partnership with Pragmatic Palms Limited is more than just an investment; it is the triumph of vision over doubt.
“Despite the scepticism that greeted this ambitious plan, we have shown that with focus and determination, we can unlock the true potentials of our state.”
Mbah stated that the project is set to create 3,500 jobs, breathe life into 20,000 hectares of palm plantation and establish world-class oil mills and refining capacities.
He pointed out that the Enugu government is not simply reviving a business but it is igniting a transformation that will place the state at the forefront of agricultural innovation and economic growth in Nigeria.
According to him, the vision of his administration is to make Enugu a premier destination for investment, industry and sustainable development.
“Today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks a significant step towards realising that goal, proving that with strategic partnerships and determination, we can achieve great things for our state,” the governor added.
“I heartily thank the people of Enugu State for trusting in this vision and Pragmatic Palms Limited (PPL) for their commitment to its success because tomorrow is here.”
