Maiha disclosed the creation of the ministry was the government’s strategy to unlock the sector’s economic potential.
He cited Nigeria’s estimated annual demand gap of 1.7 billion litres of milk and more than 1.5 million metric tonnes of red meat as huge opportunities for investors.
The Minister added that more than five million hectares of land had been earmarked for livestock development, with commitments to improve security and provide policy backing for investors.
