Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Monday said the administration is committed to making the business climate more friendly for investments, commending the establishment of a new multimillion naira cashew processing factory in the state.
AbdulRazaq said the agenda, among other things, is to make Kwara a hub for cashew nuts processing in Nigeria.
The Governor was speaking in Ilorin, the capital city, during a working visit to a newly established cashew processing plant in the state.
He said it is logical and will be more lucrative to have the cashew nuts processed locally for export than to ferry out the raw nuts, adding that the government will leave no stone unturned to encourage all cashew processing companies in the state to thrive.
Royal Times reports that the Governor acknowledged the commitment of the company to grow the local economy through their investment, and congratulated them on the start of operation, saying the administration is open for partnership.
