The Presidency and Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) have finalised arrangements to raise a $500 million agribusiness investment fund to drive large-scale commercial agriculture in the Niger Delta.
They described the oil-rich region as secure and ready to emerge as the country’s next major agricultural investment destination.
The programme, being put together by the Office of the Vice President and NDDC, will be made public at the inaugural Niger Delta Agriculture Development and Investment Summit slated for July 15, at State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
