"No Nigerian should go to bed hungry", words from the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Abubakar Kyari at the second Interactive Session and Workshop on Developing Bankable Business Proposals/Business Plans for Youth and Women in Agriculture at the African Development Bank Group office in Abuja.
The session was put together by the AfDB in partnership with IITA, NIDCOM and NAIC.
According to the AfDB, 41 percent of businesses in the country are led by women but only 10 percent of women benefit from loans, hence the need to close the gaps and include young people who form the bulk of the nation's working population.
