Stakeholders have announced the first South West Agricultural Summit (SWAS) slated for next month in Ibadan, Oyo State, and called for a sub-national agric policy to bail the country out of the current economic recession.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of AgroNigeria, Mr. Richard-Mark Mbaram, who disclosed this at a press conference, what the country really needs is agriculture at the sub-national level, not at the federal level.
He added: “We need to bring a lot of life into agriculture at the sub-national level of our existence as a nation. So this is the first in the series of agro-economy zone based activities. We are going to have South West Agric Summit as a first, while the summit would also be replicated in the other 5 geo-economic zones respectively.”
The South West Agricultural Summit (SWAS) 2016 is convened by AgroNigeria in partnership with the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM), Nigerian Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL), Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) and the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC).
