She also called on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and various state governments to support the foundation’s drive to empower youths in agribusiness.
The event titled “Beauty in Agriculture” also showcased agricultural produce grown in the Niger Delta, such as plantain, snail, cassava, fishes, maize and banana, among others.
