The Central Bank of Nigeria has pledged its support to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs towards developing agriculture in the Niger Delta.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Head of Press and Public Relations at the ministry, Patricia Deworitshe.
The statement said that the alliance was sealed during a visit by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, to the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, in his office in Abuja.
