has earmarked $6m to support Nigeria’s
push for food sustenance through the
production of rice and cassava.
This was disclosed at the inauguration
of the State Partnership for Agriculture
by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture
and the Foundation.
Speaking at the event, the Deputy Di
rector, Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, James Nyoro said the move
is to enable Nigeria move from importer
to exporter of food.
He disclosed that Kaduna, Benue and
Kogi states have been picked to pilot the
project.
“For us at the Bill and Melinda Founda
tion, the programme is going to be a
catalytic in helping the Nigerian
government to achieve IRS vision for
food security, reduce food imports and
increase agriculture productivity so that
they can raise many millions of
Nigerians out of poverty.
“Therefore, one of the areas we are
going to help is state partnership
because we do know that action takes
place at the state level.
That is where innovations are tested,
whether you are talking about cassava
processing and marketing or whether
you are talking about rice.
