The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has said that the establishment of Special Agro-processing Zones (SAPZs) in Nigeria has the potential of attracting between one to four billion dollars investments into the country.

The Chairman of the forum and Governor of Ekiti, KAYODE FAYEMI, disclosed this while briefing newsmen after the forum’s 4th meeting on Wednesday in Abuja.

Mr. FAYEMI explained that all states were potential beneficiaries of the SAPZs initiative, which would bring together the farming and the processing community.

They also agreed to do everything to ensure effective polio immunisation in their states to prevent a re-emergence of the disease in the country to ensure that Nigeria is certified polio-free by the World Health Organisation.

The meeting comes hours after President MUHAMMADU BUHARI inaugurated his cabinet and assigned portfolio to ministers at a ceremony, which was attended by governors and other top government officials.

The new ministers, who pledged to deliver on their assigned mandates, also sought co-operation from workers to meet their targets, top of which is budget submission.
