“This milestone agreement was signed during the recent Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), marking a major breakthrough in the state’s efforts to boost our economy and to create job opportunity for about five thousand women and youths”.

Accordingly, he said, by focusing on high-potential commodities, the program will promote increased productivity, value addition, market access, and private sector investment.
