Nigeria to chair UN food transformation event in Rome
NIGERIA is to chair a high level United Nations – sponsored food systems transformation side event in Rome, Italy next month.
The event is expected to bring together world leaders, as well as captains of agro- allied industry and investors in food related areas across the globe.
National convener of Food Systems Coordination Hub, Dr Famiran Sanjo said in Awka that Nigeria was nominated to chair the side event because of the country’s aggressive approach towards the implementation of the 78 action programmes that were presented by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2021.
“The UN deemed it necessary for Nigeria to share her experience on innovative farming system in Rome as a preference country since it was presented by former President of Nigeria.
“They expect the president of Nigeria to chair the high level session because they consider Nigeria as the champion in the implementation of the programme”, Sanjo said.
The permanent secretary in charge of Budget and National Planning in the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mr. Nebolisa Anako, while addressing participants at a meeting of nine coordinating states for the programme in Nigeria said the presidency has already been informed of President Tinubu’s nomination to chair the multi stakeholders forum.
