Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday said the Rice Mill in Imota will be commissioned by the end of the year, 2022.
The Governor disclosed this while presenting the 2023 Budget Estimates to the Lagos State House of Assembly in the Alausa area of Ikeja.
“It also gives me pleasure to announce that our 32mtph Rice Mill in Imota will be commissioned this December. The largest of its kind in Sub-Sahara Africa, this Rice Mill, when completed will create about 350,000 direct and indirect jobs along the rice value chain,” he said.
The governor acknowledged that the state government has gotten the approval of the Federal Government for the establishment of the Badagry Deep Sea Port.
He further said the Lekki Deep Sea Port will be completed before the end of 2022, saying the port has “three times the capacity of the Apapa Port and will give Lagos almost 50% of the shipping logistics volumes in West Africa, up from 22% today”.
