“The African Development Bank has approved a total of $210 million while the Islamic Development Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) have approved $170 million and $160 million respectively, towards the program.”
Recall that early this year, Governor Hope Uzodinma participated, as a focal Governor, in the signing of partnership deed with the Bank for the program.
