The Central Bank of Nigeria has restated commitment to boosting local production through agricultural initiatives.
The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, during an inspection tour of a palm plantation at Odighi village in the Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, commended the Federal Government’s foresight to revamp the agricultural sector with the CBN playing a major role.
Emefiele said with the rising cost of food items across the globe, Nigeria would have been in dire circumstances if the proactive measures were not taken.
