Mbaram, who is also theDirector-General of Feed Nigeria Summit, said in Lagos, that agriculture playeda critical role in transforming economies to reach the SDG’s, along withachieving other essential development goals such as ensuring food security andimproved nutrition.
He said under-performing agriculturewas stifling the effective functioning of the industrial sector; consequently,this has resulted in a weak linkage between the agricultural and industrial sectorsin the face of a myriad of opportunities.
He urged Nigerians to support theFederal Government’s policies towards achieving the agro-alliedindustrialisation agenda, which  wouldsee agriculture taking the lead in contributions to the country’s Gross DomesticProduct, GDP and becoming the economic mainstay once again.
