By Gabriel Ewepu – Abuja
The Federal Government, Tuesday, assured that agriculture is being treated as moneymaking business and to create wealth for agribusiness players.
The assurance was made in a keynote address delivered by Regional Director, North Central, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Sylvester Baye, at ‘Workshops on Good Agricultural Practices / Aflatoxins Mitigation in Sesame; and the Use / Application of Inoculant (Nodumax) in Soybean Production at Minna, Niger State.
According to Baye, a nation that does not feed itself becomes a threat to its own sovereign existence, hence Nigerians growing their food, processing what they produce, becoming competitive in export markets, and creating jobs all across in their economy, are crucial for national security.
