Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, says he will be leaving the state next month as an oil-producing state and with the capacity to produce rice that can sustain itself.

Governor Obiano made this known during an interview with newsmen in Aguleri, in the Anambra East Local Government Area of the state.

He said the state would begin to earn 13 per cent derivation from oil production as an oil-producing state.

The Governor noted that the rice production of the state has hit 530,000 metric tonnes yearly from the 85,000 metric tonnes capacity in 2014.
