Nigeria Central Bank has disbursed about N3 billion
to the Cross River State Government to support Anchor Borrowers Farmers
who are involved in rice farm cultivation in the state. To encourage rice
production in the country, thereby becoming self-sufficient and able to
feed itself.
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor,
Mr. Godwin Emefiele, who was on assessment visit with the Presidential
Taskforce on Wheat and Rice Production to one of the rice farms in the
state recently, noted that the scheme is to ensure that the country
becomes self-sufficient in the production of rice, tomato, wheat and
other agricultural produce to feed the people.
According to him, “I want to thank the
Cross River State, particularly the governor, for joining the train to
say let’s feed our people. I’m very delighted to be here and I say we
will do well; we just need to be patient.”
