He spoke at the commissioning ceremony of the South East office complex of the Federal Institute of Industrial Research(FIRO) , in Enugu at the weekend.
The minister listed the various derivatives of cassava, adding that if the country can process 70 percent of the cassava it produces, it would affect the value of the naira.

“Nigeria is the highest producer of cassava in the world, we produce about 64 metric tons of cassava yearly,” he stated.

Director general/CEO of FIRO, Dr. (Mrs.) Jummai T. Adamu, said it was appropriate to disclose that they were vigorously pursuing their broad mandate, which is to accelerate industrialisation in Nigeria.
