In a resounding tribute to the Ebonyi state governor, Rt Hon Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, on his 49th birthday, the chairman of the Abakaliki rice mill industry, Comrade Obeji Linus, has extolled the governor's peaceful initiatives in the state.

Obeji, while commending Governor Nwifuru's unwavering commitment to fostering peace and development in the state, noted his initiatives such as payment of backlogs of pensions to retired civil servants and the increament of worker's salaries that have positively impacted the lives of workers in the state as well as boosted business activities within the rice milling industry.

"There's quietness in the land because he has virtually touched all the sectors in the state; the workers are not grumbling; the politicians and ordinary people are not grumbling; he has touched humanity in its entirety." Obeji said.

He pointed out that since Governor Nwifuru's intervention in the rice mill company, there has been absolute peace, and people have been going about thriving with businesses without complaints.

"Ordinary people who are vulnerable are also happy with what the governor is doing to improve business activities within the rice mill areas. The governor is currently working on a major road around the mill company that will give easy access for customers, and we highly commend him.

"On behalf of my family and the good people of Abakaliki rice mill, we wish him a happy birthday and also wish him God's protection in all his endeavors and guidance to continue with his good works for the people of Ebonyi State; it has never been this good for us.".

He, however, emphasized the governor's pivotal role in promoting harmony and progress, which has significantly contributed to the growth and prosperity of Ebonyi State. 

These accolades come amidst ongoing efforts by the state government to enhance agricultural productivity and stimulate economic growth through the revitalization of multiple industries across various sectors of the state.

Governor Nwifuru should invest lots of money in Abakaliki Rice Mill Industry so it can feed the entire country and crash the price of rice to 30k per bag.

Why do we find it difficult to understand comparative advantages? That governor can invest a lot of money in that company, make it a corporation, get those Ebonyi boys off the streets and give them juicy good jobs. We can make money by feeding ourselves!

This is how America and China got to where they are today. It's even funny that most of us think that OPEC countries have the most of the crude oil, not knowing that that United States is the world's biggest producer of crude oil.

Happy birthday to the youngest governor in Nigeria! 👌👌👌👌

Where is the lake rice from Lagos State

The problem of the rice industry is not mill Ebonyi has enough mills to feed Nigeria and export

The main issue are
1) lack of improved variety seedlings
2) primitive farming methods farming rice on farmlands instead of rice fields

10,000 hectares of rice fields can produce 6 *3 "10, 000 = 180,000 tons of rice per year

That's close to 3 million 50kg bags per year

3) education for the farmers, farming should not be seen as tradition or hobby. It's a business

4) last one is security but in South East it's not really that serious

ebonyi the food basket of igboland your glory will shine in Biafra.

Governor Nwifurus leadership has brought peace and progress to Ebonyi State, and his dedication to improving the lives of the people is truly commendable! Happy birthday and may his good works continue to benefit the state!

Simple and short, Ebonyi’s agriculture is not mechanised. I blame state government. The locals there are all running from agriculture and running to politics.

Kudos to Governor Nwifuru for his peaceful initiatives and positive impact on workers and businesses in Ebonyi State may he continue to lead with wisdom and grace!
