FG to Address Challenges Facing Cotton Industry, Says Minister via thisdaylive

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Adeniyi Adebayo has expressed the determination of the federal government to address challenges facing the cotton industry with a view to creating jobs for the teeming unemployed youths.
