Govt.
LP Disagree Over N100bn Agro Project.
Enugu State chapter of the Labour Party, and the Enugu
State Government are not on the same page as the Government consummates an
agriculture partnership agreement with Pragmatic Farms Limited.
The partnership between the Enugu State Government and
Pragmatic Farms Limited, worth N100 billion, is for the revival of the moribund
United Palm Products Ltd.
However, the Labor Party in the state had opposed the
project, alleging that it might be a conduit to syphon the state’s resources.
The party, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Comrade
Casmir Uchenna Agbo, and Publicity Secretary, Onuora Odo, questioned the
propriety of the transaction, pointing out that the company in question was
allegedly registered only four days before it signed the agreement with the
Enugu government.
It accused the Government of planning to use the alleged
newly registered company as a conduit to syphon the resources of the state,
saying that there was no indication that the company has the track record and
capacity to manage the enterprise.
