In line with the Federal Government’s plan to lift several people out of poverty, a Greek firm, Concept Amadeus, has disclosed its intention to set up an industrial fishing project for the purpose of engaging youths in the Niger Delta region. The firm would construct fishing vessels that would ensure fish is processed according to European Union Standards. At the end of the process, 3500 people are to be engaged and 110 fishermen catered for. The plans were unveiled when representatives of Concept Amadeus met with the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Clem Agba in Abuja. The representatives were led by Alabo Wokoma. The Minister responded that the Government was aware of the project and would give adequate support for the growth of the project. Agba noted that the projects would boost fish production for the region.
