In this interview with IFEANYI ONUBA, the Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council, Mr. Zach Adedeji, says that with the approval of the second phase of the Nigerian Sugar Master Plan commencing this year, Nigeria is on the path of becoming one of the leading sugar producing nations in Africa.
Well, it has been both challenging and rewarding, considering Nigeria’s quest to attain self-sufficiency in sugar production in the shortest possible time. We are keen about realizing our goals in the sector. It is also an important learning curve for me and members of my team, given the peculiar nature of the sector. I’ve learnt a whole lot and I’m quite pleased with the modest gains we’ve so far recorded in the sugar sector.
