his Head of Media,
Mr Paul Ibe , Atiku said that
arrangement for the take-off of the factory was
at advanced stage.
It said that the factory would complement
Federal Government’s efforts at creating more
jobs.
According to the statement, the factory called
Rico Gardo , when operational, will produce
animal feeds of various types, including for
cattle, small ruminants, horse and poultry.
It said that Rico Gardo was already existing in
Adamawa state and would ''provide thousands
of direct and indirect jobs’’.
''It will also conserve scarce foreign exchange
for the country by providing high quality made-
in-Nigeria animal feed for the nation’s livestock
sector.
''Based on the success and impact of the
Numan factory, the Abuja factory when
operational, will play a significant role in
providing feed for millions of cattle that
presently roam the country in search of
pasture,'' it said.
It stated that the company was jointly owned by
Atiku and Rico Gardo, and was specialised in
livestock feeds production and distribution
throughout Europe and the Middle-East.
The statement said that presently, the factory
catered for the need for animal food supplement
in Adamawa, the North-East and beyond.
According to it, when produced in abundance,
the supplement will aid the plan of Federal
Government to limit and control the movement
of cattle through the provision of ranches in
selected locations across the country.
