Taraku Mills begins test run with 300MT soybeans, to hit market before October ends

Taraku Mills Limited in Benue State has formally commenced test-run production after extensive rehabilitation and delivery of eight trucks of soybeans totalling 300 tonnes. The product is expected to hit the market before the end of October. The development, according to Raymond Asemakaha, the Group Managing Director, Benue Investment and Property Company Limited (BIPC), marks a major milestone in the state’s agro-industrial revival under Governor Hyacinth Alia’s administration. Speaking with journalists shortly after monitoring the test run, Asemakaha said BIPC deliberately revived the factory, which had been dormant for years, to commence production of Golden Soya Oil. He described the test-run as a positive step toward boosting Benue’s agro-industrial capacity and improving farmers’ livelihoods. Asemakaha lamented the high unemployment rate and lack of market access for farmers, saying the revitalisation would provide a ready off-take market for local soyabean and grain farmers, as well as create direct and indirect jobs. He noted that tertiary institutions in the state continue to produce graduates without jobs, with over 14,802 graduating in 2024 and 16,200 in 2025, many of whom are yet to secure employment. According to him, BIPC is determined to ensure the factory works, adding that most government assets in private hands without commitment have become a burden. He urged soyabean, maize and other raw material producers to scale up production, assuring that BIPC is ready to provide off-take opportunities that guarantee value. “The administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia is deliberately bringing industries and businesses to the people. Every government company, both old and new, must become operational, which is why government is bringing in professionals to run those factories deliberately and deliver results. “Those factories must work deliberately for the benefit of our people. A lot of people have asked why government is involved in these businesses. In China, there are hundreds of state-owned enterprises. Every province has state-owned enterprises operating on a model similar to BIPC. That is the model we are adopting. “A state-owned enterprise is not just about sitting down and collecting salaries. It is about working and delivering results. That is why we are working the talk and bringing results. We have told our people to hold us to our word because we understand the business,” Asemakaha said. Speaking on the production process, Plant Manager, Engr. Terngu Ikyuve, said the facility has an installed capacity of 200 tonnes per day but is starting at 50 tonnes per day because the equipment had been out of use for many years. He said the factory has commenced purification after taking delivery of the 300 tonnes, adding that crushing will commence in the next two days. Once a reasonable quantity of oil is extracted, refining will begin to make the golden oil available. He assured that the oil will be in the market before the end of October, noting that the facility has adequate manpower to drive production. Saleh Mansur, Lead Consultant to Taraku Mills, commended Governor Alia’s commitment to the revival, expressing optimism that the process would soon restore production of the “golden oil” for which Taraku Mills was known. Also speaking, Iortuhwa Moses, a youth leader and worker at the factory, said the host community welcomes the revival, noting that it will create jobs and stimulate economic activities in Taraku and surrounding communities. He commended Governor Alia for resuscitating the moribund company and bringing dividends of democracy to the community, adding that protecting the factory from vandalism was not easy, but the community resisted the temptation because of the long-term benefits. “We encountered some challenges but we tried our best to overcome them and today, the factory has commenced production, we want to use this opportunity to thank Governor Alia for seen what others could not see” Related News Fernandes reveals Cristiano Ronaldo conversation after Portugal exit Angola Cables upgrades atlantic network as AI reshapes global data demand How Rui Pinto’s ‘Football Leaks’ exposed Man City finances Share
