The Edo State Government is seeking Botswana’s partnership in agriculture and livestock development as part of efforts to attract foreign investment ahead of its forthcoming International Agricultural and Livestock Investment Summit.
The state government made the appeal during a meeting with the Botswana High Commissioner to Nigeria, Philada Kereng, at the country’s High Commission in Abuja on Friday.
The delegation was led by the Edo State Commissioners for Agriculture and Food Security, Dr Jerry Uwangue, and Livestock Development, Mr Ohimai Ehijimetor.
During the meeting, the High Commissioner commended the Edo government’s efforts to develop livestock production and urged the state to explore investment opportunities in agro-tourism and animal feed production.
She also pledged the support of the Botswana High Commission in “attracting investors to the proposed summit,” signalling a potential avenue for cooperation between Edo State and Botswana in agricultural development.
