This weekend, the Nigerian Agribusiness Group (NABG), led by its President, Arc Kabir Ibrahim, and the Director General, Jafar Umar, participated in a high-level delegation to Cairo, Egypt. The delegation represented Nigeria in a forum organized by the Egypt-Nigeria Business Council, aimed at fostering collaboration between the two nations, particularly in agriculture.
The Nigerian delegation included representatives from the Kaduna and Katsina State Governments, as well as the Ministers of Agriculture, Foreign Affairs, and Water Resources. Private sector players from Nigeria also participated, making the engagement dynamic and impactful.
In his address, Arc Kabir Ibrahim emphasized the importance of stronger collaboration between Nigeria and Egypt, the two largest economies in Africa. He highlighted the shared opportunities and similarities between both countries, noting that such partnerships could be mutually beneficial. He informed the forum that while Nigeria has over 80 million hectares of arable land, less than 40% is currently utilized, and he invited the Egyptian private sector to consider Nigeria as a prime destination for agricultural investments.
Arc Kabir Ibrahim also accompanied the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Abubakar Kyari, CON, to other strategic meetings around Cairo. These engagements focused on advancing Nigeria’s agricultural sector through strategic partnerships and knowledge exchange.
