Sequel to the first edition with the theme: “Reinventing Agriculture for Sustainable National Development”, he said this year’s edition of the expo aptly focuses on the theme “Innovating for a Sustainable Green Economy,” which highlights the essentials for promoting policies and practices focused on advancing the pathway to a future filled with interest and a progressive mindset on agriculture across the nation.
The expo, according to him, is indicative of First Bank’s commitment to increasingly collaborate with public and private sector partners to fully restore the prime role of the agricultural sector as the mainstay of Nigeria national economy.
His words: “I am pleased to note that agricultural financing across all value chains remains a core part of our business today. Following our priority as a continuous financier of credit worthy agro-allied businesses, our team of dedicated agricultural professionals specialising in various fields of agriculture are strategically located to identify and support agricultural enterprises covering across all regions of Nigeria, with a suite of customised sector and customer friendly agricultural financing solutions.”
