Chairman, Senate Committee on Agriculture Production, Services and Rural Development, Sen. Salihu Mustapha (APC-Kwara) made the call in Abuja on Monday, at the joint budget defence session of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.
Mustapha said the Senate and House committees on agriculture production, services and rural development were concerned about the challenges facing the agricultural sector.
He, however, said that despite the challenges, the sector remained the largest contributor to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the non-oil sector with over 20 per cent.
