In a move aimed at transforming agricultural practices and restoring degraded lands across Nigeria’s most vulnerable ecological zones, the Federal Government is set to enter into a strategic partnership with the United Kingdom’s Zander Corporation.
The decision was reached during a high-level meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, between Nigerian government officials and the management team of Zander Corporation, led by Lord Raymond Benedict Asquith, the 3rd Earl of Oxford and Asquith OBE, a member of the UK House of Lords.
Speaking at the meeting, the Nigerian government reaffirmed its commitment to afforestation as a core strategy in combating desertification, promoting sustainable land use, and ensuring long-term agricultural productivity. Officials emphasized the need for innovative biotechnology solutions to address the challenges of land degradation and food security in the country.
“There is a critical intersection between innovative technology and efforts to combat desertification and drive agricultural transformation in Nigeria,” a government representative stated.
The partnership with Zander Corporation is expected to leverage cutting-edge biotechnological advancements to rehabilitate degraded lands, improve soil fertility, and enhance climate resilience in agricultural communities. Experts believe that this collaboration will not only boost Nigeria’s agricultural sector but also contribute significantly to environmental sustainability and food security.
Further details on the framework of the partnership, including implementation strategies and investment commitments, are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
