According to him, the estate would have world-class facilities including independent electricity supply facility.
“It will also have all types of animal husbandry that will be producing and selling products in the world market."
“We want to start aquaculture farming such as crocker and tilapia fish farming to stop fish importation. We have our Chinese partners from Shanghai to assist us,’’ he said.
Goiko, who said that the agricultural estate would have over 40,000 houses to accommodate workers, noted that when completed, the farm would employ over 200,000 workers.
He stressed that the establishment of the farm, which would witness the transfer of technology, would have industrial clusters where people would be trained.
