Rom Oil Mills Limited, an automated edible
oil refinery and margarine company was at the weekend commissioned by Oyo state
Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
The
company, a subsidiary company of Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc, is expected to
refine crude palm kernel oil, crude palm oil and crude soybean oil into refined
oil and distilled fatty acids.
The establishment is a-400 metric tonnes per day universal
refinery.
Speaking
at the inauguration of the firm in Ibadan, Governor Ajimobi said his
administration would continue to do all within its powers to ensure that the
state continued to be the preferred destination for investors in Nigeria. Ajimobi
said that the effect of the employment generation that the company would give
the people of the state was his own idea of stomach infrastructure.
“This, indeed, is our idea of the so-called stomach infrastructure.
We thank the management of the company for their implicit trust and confidence
in our state. You have indeed vindicated our stance,’’ he said.
