The Benue State Government is partnering with Egyptian engineers to revive the moribund Taraku Mills factory in the state.
The state government, through the Managing Director of the Benue Investment and Property Company, Dr Raymond Asemakaha, has commenced processes for the revitalisation of the company.
In preparation for the commencement of full-scale production, a team of engineers from Al Wadi Al Akhdar Oil Mills, Asher, Cairo, Egypt, led by Saleh Mansury, has charged farmers in the state to intensify the cultivation of soybeans, groundnuts and maize.
According to Mansury, the crops are essential raw materials required for the operation of the industry. Mansury gave the charge during his team’s inspection of the Taraku Mills factory, located in Gwer East Local Government Area of the state, on Monday.
