Participants at a Strategic Session on Advocacy for President’s assent to the National Agricultural Seeds Council have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the NASC Bill to enable farmers to have access to quality seeds.Celestial Okeke, the National Coordinator of NASAG, said a speedy assent to the bill would boost food production in the country.
