Additionally, the delegation met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where Obasanjo praised Governor Mohammed Umar Bago for his efforts in revolutionizing agriculture to achieve food security.

Obasanjo emphasized that without self-sufficiency in food production, Nigeria faces ongoing challenges and urged other state governors to follow Niger State’s example in agricultural development. He encouraged sustained investment in agriculture to enable Nigeria to meet its food needs and enhance its GDP through food exports.

The delegation included commissioners for Agriculture, Environment, Power and Energy, and MSME, along with special advisers on Social Investment Programme, Environment and Climate Change, and Print Media.
