Nigeria is setting its sights on the livestock sector as a driver of growth, with Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, steering the Economic Management Team (EMT) meeting that rolled out a bold livestock development strategy.
At the high-level session held last week, Edun underscored government’s determination to keep economic recovery on track while opening new frontiers for job creation, food security, and rural prosperity.
The livestock growth plan, hailed as a “landmark blueprint,” is expected to modernize animal husbandry, boost value chains, and expand Nigeria’s agricultural base in line with President Tinibu’s broader economic transformation agenda.
Officials said the initiative would address recurring challenges in the livestock industry while unlocking investment opportunities capable of strengthening the nation’s GDP and improving livelihoods across rural communities.
