What happened
The Think Nigeria First Initiative reported broad support from stakeholders across northern Nigeria for $500 million in additional financing for the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project. The initiative noted that governors, farmers, and women’s groups support the project’s next phase, which includes training university students in modern greenhouse farming in Kogi, Kebbi, and Plateau States.
