Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Niger State counterpart, Hon. Mohammed Umaru Bago today signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the Produce-For-Lagos initiative.
The Produce-For-Lagos initiative is a long term strategic partnership between Niger and Lagos States, where Niger will produce food items (Paddy, Tubers, Legumes, Grains etc) and Lagos State will be the off taker.
The Farmers in Niger State will have a ready market for their produce while Lagos State citizens can be assured of availability and price stability of food items.
In the Long term, this initiative will create a ready supply of farm produce directly to the ongoing massive Lagos Food logistics in Ketu Ereyun, Epe.
