Nigeria’s future in hands of young entrepreneurs – El-Rufai
Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State says the future of Nigeria is in the hands of young people and entrepreneurs, as such they must acquire skills for the future.
El-Rufai made the remarks at the opening of FalGates Rice Mill on Friday in Kaduna.
According to him, the mill is the largest in Nigeria and the efforts of a young Nigerian entrepreneur.
“What the young entrepreneur did is evidence of what the young people are doing to take over the future,” he added.
Managing Director of the company, Abubakar Falalu, said the mill had the capacity to produce 300 metric tonnes of rice per day and 100,000 metric tonnes annually.
He said that the company would generate 400 direct and over 1000 indirect jobs.
“FalGates has also established a school for its surrounding communities which has already enrolled 50 students,” the managing director said.
He appreciated the Kaduna state government for supporting the project by providing land where the mill was situated.
“We have also created military posts to be donated to security operatives to man security in the area,” he said.
