Researchers, NACCIMA Partner On Agric Revival
The Fishery Society of Nigeria (FISON) and Oceanography, and Marine Research (NIOMR) in collaboration with the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) has set out plans to chart a way forward on the revival of fishery in the country.
To this end, a-day sensitisation workshop on fish farming and shrimp culture to share experience and make useful contributions towards enhancing the performance of the sector as a boaster to the Nigerian economy has been scheduled this November in Lagos.
The workshop is expected to further equip farmers with the knowledge on fish farming and shrimp culture, as well as channel an avenue for securing loans for farmers, a statement from NACCIMA has disclosed.
As a result of the dwindling fortunes of agriculture, especially in the area of Ocean and Marine, the association has also called for urgent legislation on food security and reform of land tenure system to be in favour of states.
According to the association, if the agricultural sector is well utilised, it can serve as another avenue to supplement crude oil earnings.
NACCIMA has maintained that agriculture has seriously been neglected since the advent of oil, despite its enormous potential to create job for over 60 to 70 per cent of Nigerian population, noting that better management of the agricultural sector can increate productivity.
It has however urged government to adopt a functional public-private sector approach, develop an effective and sustainable private sector-led input supply and distribution system.
