The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, said this today in Abuja, at the opening of a three-Day Poultry Management Workshop organized by the Nigerian Army Farms and Ranches Limited.
Yahaya, represented at the workshop with the theme, “Gaining an Edge in Poultry Management” by the Chief of Logistics (Army), Major General Omotomilola Akintade, said that the Company was established to spearhead the Nigerian army’s involvement in the federal government agricultural programmes and expose it to agriculture and its full value chain.
