The federal government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan on the enhancement of the rice seeds production system and diagnostic capacity in Nigeria.
“In spite of Japan’s leading achievement in technology and mechanisation, the country was able to maintain a land-holding system in its agriculture,” he said. “The one tragic thing is that most of them are using the incorrect seed. Seeds that have not been preserved properly.” On his part, Matsunaga Kazuyoshi, envoy of Japan to Nigeria, said the Asian country would continue to work hand in hand with Nigeria to achieve the goal and create more resilience.
“So, I am confident that no matter what challenges lie ahead, the steadfast collaboration between Nigeria and Japan will enable us to overcome any obstacle,” he said.The envoy said the Japanese government had supported Nigeria to tackle infectious diseases in the health sector.“The aim of the project is to help Nigeria to detect and respond to infectious diseases by establishing a state-of-art biosafety laboratory within the NCDC,” Kazuyoshi said.
