AFTER 17 YEARS… THE LINE RUNS AGAIN.
25/08/2026 Yesterday marked a significant milestone in the journey to bring Okin Biscuits back.
For the first time in 17 years, biscuits rolled off one of our rehabilitated production lines at the factory in Offa. We had to rebuild the line after having all cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components stolen
This was a technical TRIAL RUN - NOT a product trial. At this stage, we were not concerned about colour, appearance or achieving the final Okin recipe. The objective was simple: Can we bring this line, silent for 17 years, back to life? And we did !
And there was another major milestone: IBEDC officially connected the factory to a 33Kva Band A electricity grid today.
There is still work ahead. More testing. More calibration. More rehabilitation. And, of course, getting that familiar Okin taste and quality exactly right before the biscuits return to the market.
But today, we celebrate progress.
The machines are turning.
The ovens are firing.
The biscuits are beginning to roll out again.
One step at a time. Okin is coming back.

💣🚨 Declan Rice explains why he embraced Martin Ødegaard after the final whistle.
🗣️ “When the final whistle went, there were no opponents anymore. I didn’t see Norway or England. I just saw my captain.”
“I know how much this game meant to Martin. I know how much he carries on his shoulders, not only for Norway but every single day as a leader. Seeing him hurting like that… I couldn’t just walk past.”
“We’ve built something special at Arsenal. We’ve celebrated together, we’ve suffered together, and we’ve pushed each other to become better players and better people. That doesn’t disappear because we’re wearing different national team shirts.”
“I just wanted him to know he wasn’t standing there alone. Football can break your heart in one moment, but the people you share the journey with help put the pieces back together.”
“In a few weeks, we’ll be back at the Emirates fighting side by side again. He’ll still be my captain, I’ll still fight for him, and together we’ll keep chasing the biggest trophies for Arsenal.”
“For 90 minutes we represented different countries. But the bond we have at Arsenal is bigger than one match. That will never change.

A departure from this World Cup that may be overlooked: Granit Xhaka, one of the last remaining members of a Switzerland golden generation that once featured Xherdan Shaqiri, Yann Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Schär and more.
In his fourth World Cup, Xhaka reached the furthest stage of his career. He’ll be 38 by 2030, so there’s a chance we may have seen him on this stage for the final time.
Salute to a Swiss football icon 🫡
Where are those “Let Tinubu have it” people?
I hope they’re now selling roasted corn and akara next to atiku’s shop?
Since Atiku was the one they wanted to punish.
I was filling out a form at the bank and it asked for my current status. I looked at the question, smiled, and wrote Premier League champion. Thank you Mikel
An excerpt from my post-premiere press conference in Dar es Salaam where I spoke very plainly and frankly to my colleagues on the other side of the continent.
My message as always: Be utterly unapologetic about being African and backing Africa's agenda.
Lost £22 million partnership with Adidas for speaking against China's act of Brutality on the people of Uighar.
Lost his place from Germany's National team for appreciating Erdogan.
Lost his place from Club as he initiated MUSLIM LIVES MATTER AS WELL and criticised club for not backing him on for his stance on Uighar as they are human too.
Mesut Ozil is more than just a footballer. RESPECT.
In the Premier League, a club can submit a maximum of 25 senior players for the official squad registration (the “25-man squad list”).
But the question many are asking is, why 25? Because 25 in this case is exactly the same number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
