The Chairman of ACAN, Mr John Oba expressed optimism that the Summit will proffer solutions on how to drive the agricultural sector using modern technologies.
Recall that at the inception of this administration, President Muhammadu Buhari hinted on his plans towards diversifying the economy from oil to non-oil.
This plan gave rise to the recent rice revolution in Nigeria which has greatly reduced the country’s import bill drastically.
The Summit which is timely will provide stakeholders in the agricultural sector opportunities to speak and deliberate on issues affecting the agricultural sector.
