Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, has disclosed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will spend N90b for the nine states of the region in its integrated agricultural programme to train youths in fish, rabbit and pig farming.

Akpabio stated this when the French Ambassador to Nigeria, Jerome Pasquier, visited him in Abuja at the weekend, saying the Federal Government conceived the initiative to end agitations in the Niger Delta and to ensure better development of the region.

Akpabio also stressed the need to engage soil remediation experts to help restore the soil to its natural pollution-free state, which would enhance soil usefulness and prevent endemic poverty in the zone. The minister assured the ambassador that the ministry would be prudent and transparent with any financial support the French Government would offer.

MEANWHILE, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, has said underdevelopment, unemployment and insecurity were the major challenges in the Niger Delta and canvassed greater collaboration among leaders of the region to address the challenges.
