World Bank worries over project implementation in Nigeria
The World Bank has
expressed concern over the slow pace of implementation of its 185
million dollars Commercial Agriculture Development Programme (CADP) in
Nigeria.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that five states, Enugu, Cross River, Kano,
Kaduna, and Lagos are currently implementing the programme.
Louis Akapa, the
bank’s team leader in charge of CADP, expressed the bank’s reservation
on Monday in Abuja in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN).
He stressed the need for the five states to adopt “an aggressive” approach in the implementation of the programme.
“The World Bank is
not too happy with the implementation of the programme in the manner it
is being run as a small scale farmer’s project,” he said.
