He added the Consortium specializes in converting the farmland waste to another means of generating power aside oil and gas.
According to him, globally, concentration has been shifted from fossil fuels to non fossil fuels which is generating powers through plant.
“We have had series of meetings with the farmers on the renewable energy. We have let them realized that their farmland waste can be converted into use as source of energy.
“The waste on the farmland can be converted to bio-energy, bio-fuels, bio-fertilizer to mention but few.
“Most of the companies in Nigeria are operating at a loss with total dependency on oil and gas sector as the only source of energy. This has resulted into geometric hike in the prices of the finished products.
However, with a shift to bio-fuels, the consumer will pay less for the product while electricity generation will no longer be cumbersome.
Aside, the farmers will have access to bio-fertilizer to boost food production nationwide.
This development, if religiously earnest will increase the GDP rate of the state.
