We will partner with him to make sure he gives us a conducive environment to create jobs here in Edo State. “He has already mentioned that we will set up a fertiliser plant here in Edo State. I am sure he wants me to reaffirm that, yes, we will build the biggest fertilizer plant in Africa here in Edo State. “It is a commitment and I am reassuring you, your excellency, by this year, either in December this year January, next year, we will perform the groundbreaking ceremony in Edo State.
