Orodje Of Okpe To Life Flour Mills: Give Employment To Host Community Members

The Orodje of Okpe King­dom, His Royal Majesty Felix Mujakperuo, the Orhue 1, has charged the General Manager of Life Flour Mills Limited, Mr. Alexander Verhees, to give more employment opportu­nities to the host communi­ty members as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility.

The monarch gave the charge while speaking on the occasion of the 50th anniver­sary of the Life Flour Mills Limited held in Sapele on Tuesday.

The Orodje, who praised the founding fathers of the company for their vision in establishing the Life Flour Mills in Sapele, also praised the Managing Director, Gen­eral Manager, management team, staff, and directors of the company for their man­agement initiative that kept the company running 50 years after its establishment.

He explained that part of the reason Life Flour Mills Limited was brought to Sapele was to bring development and employment to the area.

The monarch thanked the management of the company for their corporate social re­sponsibility to the people.

The Orodje maintained that apart from Life Flour Mills, there are other compa­nies like the African Timber & Plywood (AT&P ), Eternit Limited, Zarteck, etc estab­lished in the area but due to bad management and lack of adequate raw material, these companies folded up.

He remarked that as Life Flour Mills is celebrating its 50th anniversary, the compa­ny should ensure adequate backup in terms of raw ma­terial by growing wheat in Nigeria.

Earlier in an opening re­mark, the CEO of the Sea­board Group, Mr Jack Bresky, described the people of Sapele as wonderful and hospitable.
