“I am very happy and honoured to sign these important pacts with the governor for agriculture and cultural industry. The first partnership that we will sign is related to agriculture because France is a major agriculture country. We have major expertise in this field, and we are willing to support all partners to strengthen agricultural production. We know that your country, in particular this region, is confronted with the issue of climate change just like around the world.
“This project will strengthen effort to improve milk and meat production, as well as livestock productivity and marketing of these products. It will also improve the quality and quantity of animal feeds and water. It will improve animal health. It will contribute to the improvement of the agriculture output of Kwara State and the lives of its citizens.

This is just the beginning. We will open our doors wider for greater investments and visitations.
