          "Ondo State signed a public-private partnership agreement with PyVee Limited to develop a proposed integrated titanium value-chain plant. The sponsor estimates capital outlay at $362 million across two phases. The state said it allocated 100.079 hectares at Alape in Ilaje LGA and would facilitate raw-material access, permits and infrastructure.",
          "Phase 1 is planned as a commercial pilot; phase 2 as a full-scale processing complex. The modular plant is to be fabricated in the United States before shipment to Nigeria for installation and commissioning. It is intended to process ilmenite into titanium dioxide pigment and titanium sponge. The project remains proposed; projected jobs and economic value are not realized results."
