time. This is an administration that is deeply committed to the promotion of
the agric sector. This administration will give everybody that shows the level
of commitment that you have shown and demonstrates the level of capacity that
you demonstrated much support as we can. We will throw our weight behind that

you,&#8221; he said.</p>

generate revenue and also contribute towards the food security agenda of the
Country.</p>

that one cannot but be impressed. Your success story so far is a testimony to
what we have continued to preach &#8211; that Ogun State is the place to be and that
we have the land, we have the people and the weather to grow almost everything.
It also underscores our firm belief in the fact that the agric sector is the
sector to prioritise because it allows us to create employment, it allows us to
generate revenue, it allows us to contribute our own to the food security
agenda of this administration,&#8221; he said.</p>

month. We do spices and herbs. We plant tumeric, we plant thyme, and we are the
largest commercial producer of thyme and other spices in Nigeria. We&#8217;ve been
