Shettima advocates restructuring of Bank of Agriculture to achieve food security

Vice President Kashim Shettima Tuesday unveiled the Federal Government’s plans to recapitalize and restructure the Bank of Agriculture (BOA) to bolster Nigeria’s agricultural sector and achieve national food security.

Shettima, according to a statement issued by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha, unveiled the plans during the first meeting of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) for the year 2024 at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

At the event, the Vice President expressed worries over the bank’s current practices, especially its tendency to disburse unsustainable loans.
