The Lagos State implementation of
Commercial Agriculture Development Projects (CADP) has received commendations
from the World Bank country Director, Ms Francois Marie Nelle.
Other programmes, she said, were
laudable include road rehabilitation projects and the energy interventions in
support of agro-processing technology.
NaijaAgroNet learnt that the World Bank country
director also assured the state of World Bank’s future partnership in projects
implementation.
Mr. Bukar Tijani, Minister of
State for Agriculture confirmed that the Lagos State agricultural policy is in
line with the transformation agenda of the federal government towards food
security.
While applauding Lagos State for
investing in project interventions, Mr. Tijani affirmed that the federal
government would do more in terms of agricultural commercialization to make
food sufficient and also improve agricultural value chains.
Responding, the Lagos State
Commissioner for Agriculture and Co-operatives, Prince Gbolahan Lawal said the
state's collaboration with the Federal Government and World Bank in the
Commercial Agricultural Development Projects (CADP) is on a fruitful path as it
has improved business environment for agriculture by assisting participating
small and medium scale commercial farmers.
