The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Delta, Mrs Mary Iyasere, says the state government is establishing fish mills to boost fish production and reduce cost of fish feed in the state.

According to her, the feed mills will be run on Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative, which will allow the private firm to a holding of 45 per cent.

“The Bank of Industry has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the financing and running of the fish farm,’’ she said.

Iyasere said that the establishment of the projects were aimed at increasing the per capital base of the state.

She said that the inclusion of markets in the scheme of infrastructural development was in line with the `SMART’’ agenda of the state government.
