Vice-President Kashim Shettima on Wednesday launched the $500 million Niger Delta Agricultural Investment Fund, describing it as a laudable development for a nation whose foundation was built on agrarian economy and whose soil paid its bills before the discovery of oil.
He observed that Nigeria cannot afford to take the promise of an agricultural boom for granted, noting that while nations survive on many resources, they endure because they can feed themselves.
