Chairman of the newly inaugurated board of the Imo State owned Imo Palm Plantation, otherwise known as Adapalm, Hon Chief Innocent Ifeanyi Nnadi, has assured Imo people that he and other board members would strive to rejig the company so that it would start working again.
Adapalm which is one of the foremost oil palm companies in the country was established in the second republic by the then governor of Imo State, Chief Sam Mbakwe, and had the capacity of producing palm oil, vegetable oil, soap, cream and other related items but became moribund some years after.
Nnadi who was appointed last week along side others by the governor, Chief Emeka Ihedioha further said that after bringing the place to life again, it would be profit-oriented and revenue -yielding such that people would start enjoying the place as it was in the beginning.
He assured that all the problems associated with land owners and workers of the company would be a thing of the past as he had ‘what it takes’ to bring the situation under control and boost its capacity and production.
