President Bola Tinubu has declared that the vision of his administration was to position Nigeria as a leading agricultural export nation by year 2025.
Tinubu spoke on his vision for his administration in his remarks at, “the Road to South-South National Convergence for Renewed Hope Agenda,” organised by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (South-South) at the Conference Centre of the State House, Abuja.
The president, who was represented by the Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh, stressed that Project “Earn from the Soil” was a food security initiative capable of transforming subsistence farming into robust, export-driven economic opportunities, thereby revolutionising the country’s agricultural landscape and ensuring National Food Security.
“In this wise, the vision of my administration is clear: By 2025, we will position Nigeria as a leading agricultural export nation.
“To this end, my administration will give necessary support to the implementation of the laudable ‘Project Earn from the Soil’ to achieve its set objectives.” He stated that the South-south was blessed with natural resources beyond oil and gas.
