In its determination to ensure execution of the Ondo State Refinery and Free Trade Zone, the state government in conjunction with partners have taken another giant step by incorporating a joint company, namely – SUNSHINE JOINT VENTURE INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED.
The company will be the vehicle to be used in executing the projects.
The new development was to reinforce the sincerity of purpose and total commitment of the funding partners to move ahead together as a united front.
