Still on 'development in Idomaland'

Otukpo Rice Mill

This is Otukpo Rice Mill. In the 60s, it was adjudged the largest rice mill in the whole West Africa. Ironically, it is now about the worst in Nigeria in terms of infrastructure. Even at its dilapidated state, Otukpo Rice Mill is still functional. There are people inside this building milling and processing local rice which is believed to have more nutrients than the foreign rice.
