At the flag-off of the 2020 wet season harvest aggregation and 2020 dry season input distribution under the CBN-Rice Farmers’ Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) Anchor Borrowers’ Programme on Tuesday, the Central Bank of Nigeria made a great display of rice pyramids.
The display, coming about three months after such an exercise in Niger State was part of the fifth anniversary of the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP).
Governor of the CBN, Mr Godwin Emefiele said ABP has emphasised the need for all stakeholders to sustain current efforts championed by the Bank to galvanize agricultural production towards meeting the requirements of Nigeria’s growing population.
