Kogi State has signed a N2 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for agriculture.
Governor Idris Wada said this at the opening of a four-day-training for cashew farmers in Anyigba, Dekina Local Government Area.
He said the government had provided the will for farmers to succeed, adding that the N2 billion would be spread across agricultural areas where the state had comparative advantage.
Wada, who was represented by the Commissioner for Agriculture, Zacchaeus Atte, said N300 million would be earmarked for cashew farmers.
The President of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN), Mr. Tola Fasheru, urged governments to provide incentives for cashew farmers across the country.
