According to a press release signed by the CEO of the Media Trust Group, Ahmed I. Shekarau, the Speaker has confirmed his participation as Special Guest of Honour at the 22nd Daily Trust Dialogue with the theme “Food Security: Availability or Affordability”.

The statement said that the founder and director general of the Songhai Farms based in Benin Republic, Rev. Fr. Godfrey Nzamujo, has accepted to chair this year’s Dialogue, which will be held at the NAF Conference Centre & Suites, Abuja. The Songhai Farm founder, renowned across West Africa for his excellence in agricultural production, is expected to share his experiences in various segments of the agricultural value chains, including the production of maggots to feed fish, production of a variety of farm produce, as well as the processing of many finished products such as soaps, baked foods, juices, jams, syrups, animal feed, etc.

Shekarau said in the statement that three eminent personalities with expertise in various agricultural sectors would be the guest speakers. They will examine various steps that Nigeria needs to take to end the hunger threatening millions of its citizens.

These personalities include the Minister of Livestock Development, Alhaji Idi Mukhtar Maiha, who has been a livestock expert, managing a large-scale poultry and dairy farm in Kaduna, the Zaidi Farm, before his current appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
