The Central Bank of Nigeria says it will give more support to members of the Ogun Famers and Commodity Association in its Anchor Borrowers Programme.
The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, gave the pledge when the Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, led the leadership of the association to the headquarters of the Apex bank in Abuja.
Governor Abiodun expressed his administration’s appreciation to the bank for giving maximum support to the state nominees for the programme.
According to him, the meeting was also used to deliberate on areas for improvement to include additional beneficiaries who are eager to also benefit from the agricultural linkage opportunity facilitated by his administration for farmers and other value chain actors in Ogun State.
He noted that agriculture remains one of the cardinal policy thrusts of his government.
He assured that his administration would continue to give agriculture priority with the aim of making Ogun the food basket of the country.
