The Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. John Owan Eno, has highlighted the critical role of the sugar industry in achieving President Bola Tinubu’s vision of a $1 trillion economy.
According to the Minister, sugar plays a vital role in rural development, job creation, and national value generation. The National Sugar Masterplan (NSMP) is a key component of the government’s industrialization drive, and its success depends on the collective effort and accountability of both public and private sector actors.
