Chief Audu Ogbeh |
The Minister, Chief Audu Ogbeh with
other management team of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development (FMARD) may today visit the three agricultural research
institutes in Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria. This may be the first of its
kind by the minister to these institutes since assumption into office.
Findings reveal that the deplorable
condition of the research institute in Nigeria occasioned by lack of fund must
have informed the need for the minister to visit these research institutes as
sometimes last week the three executive directors of these institutes paid a
visit to the minister for the purpose of audience that will bring a better
improvement to research and agriculture in Nigeria.
Our source told us that the minister has
be invited to come and see thing by himself so as to know the level of
assistance the Institutes might be seeking because of their role in the
agricultural development when it comes to new improved technologies for higher
productivity in view of economic diversification from oil to commercial
agriculture.
The three places to visit are
Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), National Animal Production Research
Institute (NAPRI) and National Agricultural Extension and Research Liaison
Services (NAERLs).
