Co-chairman of the Presidential Livestock Reforms Implementation CoCommittee Attahiru Jega has revealed that Nigeria’s livestock sector is beginning to attract foreign investment, thanks to ongoing government reforms.
Speaking on Saturday at the inauguration of the Ngarannam Livestock Improvement and Ranch Settlement in Mafa LGA, Borno State, Jega highlighted the growing interest of global players in the sector. He noted that partnerships with foreign investors are essential for unlocking the sector’s full potential.
“This settlement is part of a broader national effort to modernize Nigeria’s livestock sector,” Jega said during his keynote address.
The initiative aligns with the federal government’s vision to overhaul the livestock industry, promoting modern practices, reducing farmer-herder conflicts, and boosting productivity.
Jega explained the need for collective action from public and private stakeholders to ensure the reforms are effective and sustainable.
With increasing global attention, the sector could soon play a more prominent role in Nigeria’s economy, offering opportunities for job creation, export growth, and improved food security.
