Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele has on Thursday dismissed the possibility of lifting the current import ban placed on maize.
On the same day, Rice Processors Association of Nigeria (RIPAN) disagreed with a directive by Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to Nigeria Customs Service to return imported rice carted away during midnight raids on markets in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Emefiele who reportedly spoke in Katsina during the unveiling of the first maize pyramid and flag-off of the 2021 Maize wet season farming under the CBN Maize Association of Nigeria (MAAN) Anchor Borrowers’ Programme expressed belief that Nigerian youth could leverage their talents, along with technological tools to improve farm productivity and delivery of agricultural produce to markets.
