The Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ) is central to President Bola Tinubu's food security agenda, according to the Minister of Agriculture. The initiative aims to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure sustainable food supply across Nigeria.
By focusing on developing agro-industrial hubs, the government seeks to boost local production and reduce reliance on food imports, addressing the pressing issue of food insecurity in the country. This strategic move is part of broader efforts to transform Nigeria's agricultural landscape and improve the livelihoods of farmers.
