‘Nigeria is next big destination for African market’

A very fundamental factor for survival is food. This is why nations strive to attain food security.

I see nothing standing in the way, because President Muhammadu Buhari has also shown strong support and commitment to see the project come to reality. If you agree with me, President Buhari’s desire for the country has been that of driving self-sufficiency in the production of food and for you to have food self-sufficiency, the country needs to optimise the natural and human resources available to it to support its agriculture agenda.

The Nigeria-Morocco partnership has helped Nigeria become a local producer of fertiliser as against being an importer of finished fertiliser. This is so possible with the partnership between Nigeria and Morocco as nitrogen is blended with phosphate from Morocco to produce locally blended NPK fertiliser. With partnership on the development of an industrial fertiliser plant, Nigeria will be an exporter of fertiliser.

You have blending plants in Kaduna and Ogun states. What is going to be the status of the Akwa Ibom Ammonia plant? OCP Farm & Fortune Hub – a last-mile distribution channel solution that provides access to farm inputs, training, extension service and soil testing to farmers in underserved and interior farming communities. OCP Empowering African Youth project is committed to raising certified young Agric community leaders who are empowered with digital soil testing kits, tricycles and electronic tablets to become agricultural experts who provide Agri-solution smallholder farmers.

Another area is the partnership between University Mohammed VI Polytechnic – UM6P and Nigeria university in sharing of knowledge and resources. Examples of this partnership are UM6P – University of Abuja partnership, UM6P – Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi Partnership, UM6P – Bayero University, Kano partnership.

Currently, the country can boost of over 40 blending plant with over five million metric tonne blending capacity, and over 100,000 jobs created, thanks to the partnership.

You could say Lagos in the Oduduwa Nation, or Onicha/Aba in the Republic of Biafra. Thank you.

Maybe in Sambisa. Oh sorry, heard the whole country is becoming a huge market.

Nigeria that is already crumbling
