Environmental Impact Assessment of A Rice Mill – Olam Nigeria Limited

In order to meet the increasing demand for rice, Nigeria resorted to the importation of milled rice to bridge the gap between domestic demand and supply. The Federal Government in its resolve to improve the national economy is promoting the sourcing and production of rice locally. In compliance with government demand to reduce importation, Olam Nigeria Limited, one of the leading importers of rice into Nigeria intends to build and operate a Rice Milling Plant.

OLAM Nigeria Limited proposed to build a Rice Milling Factory at Plot 77 Iganmu Industrial Estate, Lagos to boost the nation’s rice production. The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency Edict No.9 of 1996 requires that Environmental Impact Assessment be carried out prior to a development intervention. In compliance with this regulation, Rain Forest Limited carried out an EIA and prepared an EIA report of the Rice Milling Factory for OLAM Nigeria Limited.
