This was the crux of the USAID-funded West Africa Trade & Investment Hub (Trade Hub) which hosted a partnership summit entitled “Collaborating for Enhanced Food Security in Nigeria,” a statement issued on Monday by the US embassy in Abuja said.

The event showcased the impact of public-private partnerships on Nigeria’s food security and economic growth.

Michelle Corzine, Office Director of Economic Growth, Agriculture and Power, emphasised the U.S. government’s commitment to Africa’s prosperity and Nigeria’s role as a regional powerhouse. She remarked: ““The U.S. government is deeply invested in the prosperity of Africa, recognizing the immense potential for growth and development of the continent.

“As President Biden said during the 2022 U.S.-Africa Business Forum, ‘Africa’s success and prosperity are essential to ensuring a better future for all of us, not just Africa.’ Recognizing Nigeria’s pivotal role as a regional powerhouse, the U.S. government is dedicated to supporting initiatives that promote economic growth, enhance trade partnerships, and promote food security.”
