Strategic Stakeholder Engagement: NABG Strengthens Agribusiness Collaboration with First Bank
To advance our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and responsive agribusiness sector, the Nigeria Agribusiness Group (NABG) has launched a series of high-level stakeholder advocacy visits. These engagements aim to deepen partnerships, enhance agricultural financing, and drive sector-wide transformation.
Strengthening Agribusiness Partnerships
Our first stop in this strategic advocacy tour was with First Bank of Nigeria Plc, a founding member and Treasurer of NABG. Led by NABG President, Arc Kabir Ibrahim, the NABG Board and Executive Committee met with First Bank’s MD/CEO, Mr. Olusegun Alebiosu, and his executive team at the bank’s head office in Lagos.
Key Discussion Points:
- State of Agriculture in Nigeria: Challenges and opportunities within the sector.
- First Bank’s Commitment: The bank’s long-standing role in agribusiness financing.
