Inegbedion also disclosed that Nigerian farmers required training, funding, creation of market access, locally and internationally and the deployment of mechanized equipment and modern infrastructure for the growth and development of agriculture in Nigeria.

‘’We have collectively decided as a nation that reliance on monoculture or the crude oil will not do us any good in the light of the global change. Agriculture remains constant. The coming together of Nigerian entrepreneur forum and FACAN is to address these issues,” Inegbedion said.

However, NEF is a private sector-driven organization that enjoys support from the public sector. It is a forum that promotes and propagates the establishment of new enterprises as the only solution to unemployment, restiveness, powerlessness and the basis for wealth creation, financial freedom, and self-esteem.

Meanwhile, the $5 billion is also expected to fund German and United State initiatives which have begun through sponsorships of the various projects.
