Minister of Regional Development Abubakar Momoh has said another term for President Bola Tinubu would provide an opportunity to deepen the administration’s programmes and further transform Nigeria.
Momoh spoke at Nomeh Unateze in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State during the flag-off of the South East Development Commission’s 200-hectare integrated agricultural development project.
“Another opportunity for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu means transformation. Another opportunity means complete transformation of all the things that have been happening,” Momoh said.
The minister said the agricultural project was in line with the Federal Government’s focus on food security and regional development, describing it as an example of translating government policies into implementation.
“What you are doing here today is in conformity with the ministry’s policy and the Federal Government’s policy. We are transforming policy into implementation now,” he said.
He also urged the developers to go beyond farmland development by incorporating processing and other parts of the agricultural value chain.
“It is not just sufficient to develop the land, but we must go beyond that to embark on processing,” Momoh added.
The 200-hectare project is being developed under SEDC’s South East Agro-Development Programme and is designed to combine agricultural production, mechanisation, processing, training and market access.
