The United Kingdom has renewed its commitment to the development of Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
This, she said, will be done through facilitating partnerships between UK and African companies to scale up development faster and foster sustainable agricultural practices in the continent.
According to her, agriculture provides employment for an estimated 35 percent of Nigeria’s population and remains the foundation of the Nigerian economy and the main source of livelihood for most Nigerians.
Laing, who was represented by the Africa Agric Director, UK-DIT, David Burton, lamented that the impacts of climate change and infrastructure gaps across Nigeria, as well as concerns around security and the business enabling environment impacts the country’s ability to really maximise its potential in this sector.
