FG backs UN plan to create food hub in Nigeria

The Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said that the federal govern­ment will support the plan by the United Na­tions World Food Pro­gramme (UN –WFP) to create a food hub in Nigeria.
The food hub, ac­cording to the UN body, will serve vul­nerable people and communities in con­flict-affected areas in Nigeria and other Af­rican nations.
The minister stated this while responding to the presentation made earlier by the Ex­ecutive Director of the UN World Food Pro­gramme (WFP), Er­tharin Cousin on their plans and activities in Nigeria during a visit to her office in Abuja.
Ahmed stated that the plan for food hub in Nigeria as presented by the UN body is a good opportunity for business in Nigeria and African region as it will provide jobs.
