The governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank on Thursday urged state governors to cooperate in the effort to revamp the nation’s economy which he described as fragile owing to the increasing numbers of unemployment and growing population.
The apex bank governor who made the call at meeting with some state governors in Abuja, explained that addressing the twin problem of unemployment and population explosion can only be achieved through more investment in the nation’s agricultural sector.
He, therefore, appealed to the governors to key into CBN’s policy which is aimed at revamping the agricultural sector through the ten commodities of rice, maize, tomatoes, cotton, cassava, cocoa, palm oil, sorghum, millet yam rubber and the dairy sector.
Responding, the governors assured the CBN governor of their support and pledged to work toward the success of the policy.
