The Minister noted that ‘’ at the moment, the Ministry took pragmatic approach of repositioning the agricultural research system, securing 20,000 to 100,000 hectares of land per State for agricultural use, and promoting agro and agro-allied cluster activities nationwide’’.

He pointed out that ‘’ expectations are to deploy improved varieties, expand cultivable land area and support agribusiness undertakings in the country’’.

Nanono emphasized that ‘’ towards having a mutual commitment to growing the sector, we must comply with the established protocols of channeling policies, views and requests from the Executive Managements through the Governing Boards of Parastatals to the Authorities of the Ministry’’.

He reiterated that ‘’ for the Ministry’s representatives on the Boards of Parastatals, you are to update your principals on vital issues resolved at Board Meetings while relaying the Ministry’s position on such issues to respective Parastatals Board and Management’’.
