Hon. Boluwade Meets World Bank Team on National Agribusiness Transformation Program.
By Olamide Akinwumi
The Ekiti State Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Hon. Ebenezer Boluwade, on Friday joined colleagues from the six geopolitical zones, the ALGON Chairman, private sector players, and the Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit (PFSCU), Office of the Vice President, in Abuja for a strategic meeting with the World Bank team.
The high-level engagement focused on the development of a nationally led program designed to complement ongoing efforts and catalyse private sector–driven agribusiness transformation in Nigeria.
The proposed program will be co-created across the three tiers of government, rooted in evidence-based planning, and aimed at delivering tangible results across integrated value chains from farmers to markets.
According to Hon. Boluwade, this initiative is a national recognition of the remarkable strides recorded by the Ekiti State Government in agriculture under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. He noted that the program aligns perfectly with the State’s massive investments and forward-looking initiatives in the agricultural sector.
