The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, liyu Abdullahi, says the Feed and Fodder industry is essential to the growth of the dairy sector.
Abdullahi communicated this at the conference and exhibition programme to mark the 2024 World Milk Day in Abuja.
The theme for Nigeria’s celebration for the day is “Harnessing the Nutrition and Investment opportunities in the Dairy Value Chain.’’
Abdullahi said that the dairy industry was supportive of the Federal Government’s food and security programmes.
He said that nutrition security would ensure that women, children and families were milk secured.
He said that milk was a powerful nutrition product and could be a complete meal.
The minister said that President Bola Tinubu was totally committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda to provide what was required to achieve food security.
