The Federal Government on Tuesday, inaugurated the executive officers of the National Fish Association of Nigeria (NFAN), as part of efforts to reposition the fish sub-sector to meet increasing local demand.
Edet Akpan, Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, inaugurated the officers in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said the inauguration was part of the Federal Government’s effort to encourage farmers and other stakeholders in its diversification programme.
The Permanent Secretary said the coming together of all stakeholders in the fish value chain would enable them work in synergy with a common interest to boost production.

The President of NFAN, Dr Gabriel Ogunsanya, said the inauguration had added impetus to the association’s mandate to not only feed Nigerians but work hard to meet the export demand of fish.
He noted that with over five million members across the country, the association is ready to storm the markets with different species of fish to meet both local and international demands.c
