The Federal government says it is committed to ending Nigeria’s dependence on fish importation by aggressively boosting local fish production.
Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, made the pledge at a consultative meeting with fisheries cooperative groups in Abuja.
Nigeria spends approximately $1.2 billion on fish imports every year and this accounts for an estimated 45 per cent of the nation’s total fish consumption. (TVC)
