with an initial twenty-five hectares to develop a Millennium Estate.
The profit sharing formula is Seventy three percent for the company,

people that heeded his Aku Luo Uno call, having come back to invest in
agriculture and telecommunications.
The Governor explained that it is expected that the Eco friendly city
project modeled after what is usually seen abroad will provide about
one thousand direct jobs, adding that MP infrastructure is the Seventh
