ADO-EKITI – Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti has charged the management of O’dua Investment Company to operate the newly resuscitated Ire burnt bricks factory as a business venture rather than a charity organisation.
Fayemi gave the charge on Tuesday while receiving the new Group Managing Director(GMD) of the company, Mr Raji Adewale, in his office in Ado- Ekiti.
He said the factory should not be seen as a charity organisation that would be donating free bricks to government agencies.
The factory had been moribund for 20 years until the Fayemi administration revived it in 2013.
Fayemi said that his administration was committed to leaving behind a profitable business outfit that would add value to the economy of the state.[eap_ad_2]
He said that the management of the factory had commenced recruitment of about 1,000 direct workers.
While congratulating the new GMD on his appointment, Fayemi urged him to ensure that the factory was in good standing for the benefit of the owner states.
He said that O’dua Investment Company was not a political programme, but a business and development initiative driven by professionalism.
The new GMD said that the brick factory would begin full production on Sept. 29 and would be inaugurated in October.
He said that the factory would be properly managed so that it could develop and take over the burnt bricks market in the country. (NAN)[eap_ad_3]
