The Federal Government has concluded plans to set up a livestock breeding centre in each of the six geopolitical zones in the country to enhance productivity and sustainability.
The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Dr. Aliyu Abdullahi, disclosed this on Wednesday in Kaduna at a two-day interactive session on Government-Citizens Engagement, organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation.
The minister, who spoke at a plenary on Agriculture and Food Security, said President Bola Tinubu’s administration was intentional about investing in Nigeria’s livestock sector.
He reaffirmed the federal government’s commitment to fostering synergy among key sectors to achieve the broad objectives of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Abdullahi said the ministry was collaborating with the Ministry of Education to redesign the curriculum for young farmers to adopt modernisation and boost the sector.
According to him, the initiative will equip the next generation with modern agricultural skills, technology-driven knowledge, and innovative farming practices to strengthen national food security.
