Agriculture remains a major pillar of Enugu State’s economy and an important source of livelihood for its people.
The state government has renewed its commitment to maximising the potential of its commercial oil palm assets following a meeting with the management and board of Enugu United Palm Products Limited (EUPPL), led by its Managing Director, Prof. George Nwangwu.
The meeting provided an opportunity to receive an update on the state’s commercial oil palm assets and review the ongoing activities of EUPPL.
The government said the oil palm industry holds significant potential to create employment opportunities, support local businesses and contribute meaningfully to the growth of the state’s economy.
It reaffirmed its determination to ensure that Enugu’s agricultural assets are effectively utilised and made to deliver greater value and benefits to the people.
The government noted that with the right investment and renewed focus, the oil palm sector can play a stronger role in driving economic development across the state.
