The Obi of Nsukwa, HRM Dr. Kenneth Ezegbune, who was represented by Chief Bolu Felix and Chief Lawrence Chukwuji, expressed happiness at the transformation in the plantation, even as he said the firm was doing well.

The highpoint of the ceremony was the commissioning of the FFB loading ramp and the new bottling section of the company. Thereafter, the company presented bottles of oil in packs to the commissioner, the Obi of Nsukwa, the local government, the landlords of the IMC with a promise to present 3000 bottles to the Delta state government.
