One of such initiatives is the convocation of trade shows and conferences geared towards boosting the fortunes of agriculture and agribusiness in the country.
The latest confirmation of this resolution was the support given to a maiden trade show designed to focus on the potentials of agribusiness in Abuja, Nigeria next month.
The stakeholders include Bank of Agriculture, All Farmers Association of Nigeria, National Seed Council, Ministry of Investment and Trade, state governments and other relevant agencies.
Organisers of the trade show – West Africa Exhibition and Conference (WAECON), in a statement, said the maiden event “is designed to open a new vista in the promotion of agric business as stakeholders converge to deliberate on how to enhance the potentials of agric business in the country.”
Dr Kune Igoni, the director of the event, said the approval so far received by relevant stakeholders was a demonstration of the willingness of relevant agencies to collaborate and pool ideas together on how to make agric business more productive in the country.
“We are getting more endorsement by the name as we inch closer to the D-day for our trade show. I think these endorsements are borne out of the desire to harness the inherent potentials in agric business,” Igoni said.
