The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment has officially recognised the election of Ademola Adesokan as the substantive President of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN).
In a letter dated May 25, 2026, and signed by the Director of Commodities and Export Department, Obasi Edozie Edmund, on behalf of the Permanent Secretary, the ministry conveyed its approval of Adesokan’s leadership of the association.
The letter, addressed to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of NCAN, stated that the recognition followed a consent judgment delivered on November 9, 2019, in Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/439/2016, which affirmed the association’s 2007 constitution under which Adesokan was elected.
