Michael Aondoakaa’s rice business attracts America’s attention. As Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa attracted international attention as a key figure in the cabinet of President Umaru Yar’Adua who provided critical legal cover for the survival of a President plagued with ill-health. Six years after he served as Nigeria’s number one judiciary officer, Mr. Aondoakaa has moved almost seamlessly into a billion naira rice business, which activities have attracted the attention of the US government. On April 8, 2014, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, paid an official visit to Miva Rice Mill located in Makurdi, Benue State. That visit remains a milestone for the rice processing mill founded only in 2011 by the former Attorney General.
