The Federal Government through its National Agricultural Seeds Council has commenced moves to make Nigeria a full member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in order to boost the country’s export of seeds.
The Director-General, NASC, Dr. Philip Ojo, said Nigeria’s seeds would be sold globally with ease once the country attained the status of an OECD membership, noting that this would halt all forms of seed dumping in Nigeria.
Ojo stated the professionals from OECD would assess Nigeria’s facilities after the workshop and expressed optimism that the country would scale through.
