The Benue Fruit Juice industry on Wednesday carried out a test run of production of Juice for the public.
The company which is located at the Industrial layout along Naka road in Makurdi, the State capital, has been moribund for a long time.
It would be recalled that in August, the State government through the Benue Investment and Property Company Limited engaged Sono company, experts in Juice Production in the world, to revive the industry.
At the handover of the company to Sono who are expected to run it for 15 years, the Group Managing Director, BIPC Dr Raymond Asemakaha had set a target of October for commencement of production.
Speaking with newsmen at the company during the test production, Asemakaha said, “what we want to do is to ensure our farmers have value for their oranges. We want to show the world that Benue can do it and that the State is on the rise.”
