Meanwhile, ARCN’s Executive Secretary, management staff, and members of the Regional Center of Excellence expressed appreciation for the visit.
Dr Charity Obetta, Coordinator of the Regional Center, said the collaboration came at a time it was needed by many Nigerian youths and women.
She explained that the centre supports the aquaculture value chain by training participants in fish seed production, table fish farming, processing, trade, and feed production.
Dr Aliyu Shuaibu Madugu, Director of Planning, Research and Statistics at ARCN, stressed the council’s previous programmes, noting their contribution to agricultural research and development and Nigeria’s food sustainability efforts.
