It is no longer news that coconut oil is the current cash cow globally, as the price of crude oil is dwindling. Coconut Oil is highly demanded in international market as it is used as ingredient in cosmetics, soaps, body oil and food products.

Gov. Emmanuel is the kind of leader everybody wants as he has not failed to fulfill his promises to the people.

The people should be prepared to grab this life changing opportunity.
