The move is also in line with the council Amendment Act  and President Tinubu’s administration’s desire to transform agriculture and food security.

The amendment Act made provisions for efficient management of research and training, including the establishment of spinoff companies to commercialise research products and innovations generated by research institutions in Nigeria.

Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari while addressing the council’s executive officers and directors at the ARCN. reform workshop yesterday in Abuja, stressed that research and training plays a crucial role to drive agricultural transformation.

The minister who was represented by the minister of state for agriculture and food security, Sabi Abdullahi noted that the ministry has prioritised repositioning the national agricultural research system for greater productivity, while citing the implementation of the ARCN Act as a critical step towards efficient management of research and training activities.
