Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has
expressed disgust over the non-operational
status of major industries in the State. Ortom, who
made the statement yesterday in Taraku, Gwer
local council area during his inspection to the
moribund multi-billion Naira Taraku Mills industry, noted that the factory is a goldmine that
should not have been allowed to waste away. He reiterated his governments commitment to
resuscitate the industry and other ones in the
State in line with its policy to create job and
wealth, assuring that the Taraku Mills will be
revived soon. The raw materials are here and when the
factory starts working, farmers will smile. I will
look outside the box to ensure that this is
achieved. We will create the enabling
environment to ensure that our industries
functional again, the governor promised.
