Governor Emmanuel
Uduaghan of Delta State in Nigeria recently called for concerted efforts
towards the growth of the agricultural sector and Small and Medium Enterprises
(SMEs) development in the state.
Uduaghan, while
declaring open the Delta State Trade Fair 2013, in Osubi, near Warri, said his
administration, as part of measures under the Delta beyond Oil Initiative, had
set aside N1bn market intervention fund.
The governor, who
was represented by his deputy, Amos Utuama, said advanced countries of the
world grew by developing their SMEs and agricultural sector, which served as a
springboard for industrialisation.
He said Conscious
efforts should therefore be geared towards the improvement of agriculture and
SMEs in Nigeria to harness and channel production in industrial sector towards
non-oil products backed by local materials.
