By Isaac Afolabi

Ondo state will soon reclaim its position in quality cocoa production in the country. 

Governor  Oluwarotimi Akeredolu mentioned this when playing host to the Ondo State Cocoa Council delegation led by the chairman, Dr. Olusegun Awolumate.

The Governor said that the state was ready to work with relevant stakeholders for improved Cocoa production and a better economy.

According to the governor,  the time has come for the State to be recognized for what it is, just as he promised to work with the incoming administration of the President-elect Senator Bola Tinubu to achieve the desired results. 

Earlier, the Chairman of the Ondo State Cocoa Council, Dr. Olusegun Awolumate said that the Cocoa sector had the desired potential to become the state’s economic lifeline as it did in the sixties during the defunct Western Region of Nigeria.
