Launch Of The Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones Program In Nigeria

Aside from the extractive industry, agriculture and food processing especially, the export of manufactured and processed food, is really where the potential and wealth of Nigeria lie.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, spoke on Friday in Abuja at the launch of the “Seeds for the Future Foundation/Education Grant”, an initiative of Olam Agri, where he also expressed the Federal Government’s concern over the recent flooding of farmsteads in parts of the country, restating support to the affected farmers.
 
Prof. Osinbajo commiserated with Olam and other agricultural companies over their losses occasioned by the flooding across the country. 
 
He said “the flooding of the Olam rice farm in Nasarawa State, is obviously a huge loss not just to Olam but also a big blow to food security in our country, as the farm is one of the single largest rice farms in the country.
 
“We as a government are obliged to work with you to restore that important agricultural resource. And I’m sure that as we engage, we will be able to find the opportunities and ways by which we can assist in bringing that resource back to full service.”
