    Declaring the congregation open,the Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Dr. Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to revitalizing the agricultural sector through science and strategic partnerships.

    He emphasized that soil health is not just a scientific concern but a national imperative—central to food security, economic stability, and sustainable development.

    Senator ALIYU warned that Nigeria’s soils are under significant stress due to erosion, deforestation, unsustainable land practices, and climate-related challenges, all of which threaten the country’s ability to feed its growing population.
