Through Anchor Borrower financial intervention of the CBN, minimum of ten commodities would be produced to make food readily available for Nigerians.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says it will continue to provide interventions for Nigeria's agricultural and industrial revival as the two sectors, amongst others, remained a veritable tool towards building a robust economy for the country.

Mr. Nwanisobi Osita, CBN’s acting Director, Corporate Affairs Communications, disclosed this at the weekend in Lokoja during a one-day interactive enlightenment session with stakeholders organised by the CBN in collaboration with labour unions, according to a This Day report.
