A lot of man-hour and economic activities are lost because of the poor state of the road infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn most cases, goods are damaged in transit because vehicles cannot reach their destinations on time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Igbenedion opined that fixing the road would help to ease the movement of goods and services in the area.<\/p>\n<p>He commended the company for siting the factory in Benin. The former governor also advised the government at all levels to provide an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>He said that government alone could not develop the state, hence the need for public-private partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the company\u2019s Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer, Aigbe Omoregie, also spoke of the need for the government to create an enabling environment for the youths to participate in growing the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Omoregie said, \u201cGovernment should also patronise local manufacturers because they have the potential for quality products and ability to grow the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started the company in 2006 with just N18,000 and today, we have our factories in Lagos, Uganda, and now Benin City. The factory in Benin will serve the South-South region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, the company is worth over one million dollars and our vision is to ensure that it becomes the number one paint in Africa,\u201d Omoregie said.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of the event included the conferment of the \u201cMentor-of-the-Year Award\u201d on Igbenedion, while Chief\u00a0 Osamede Adun, aka Bob Izua, also received \u201cthe Father that encourages younger ones to grow award\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Gov.
