Minister Set to Inaugurate National Egg Production Scheme
The Minster of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbe, has disclosed plans to launch a national egg production scheme (NEPS).
Briefing the press in Abuja recently, the Minster thanked the members of the committee made up Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation, Bank of Agriculture, National School Feeding Program Office, Poultry Association of Nigeria and TUNS Farms for their support and charged them to ensure the successful flag-off of the scheme in the 6 pilot phase of Ondo, Kebbi, Kogi, Abia, Bauchi and Cross River.
