Niger State can feed Africa – Osinbajo.

Niger State can feed Africa – Osinbajo.“With 10 per cent of Nigeria’s total landmass, 80 per cent of which is arable, Niger State symbolises the hope and greatness of Nigeria and has the potential to feed the continent – Africa.” These were the words of the Acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, while speaking at the Niger State Investment Summit tagged “Truly Niger” with the theme, “Impact Investing for Advancing Agricultural Economy and Innovation” in Minna. Osinbajo said with three major dams and a couple of small ones, the state is better positioned to drive the diversification of Nigeria’s revenue sources through agriculture.
