Nigeria Prioritizes Cassava for Industrialization at African Conference 2025
The Nigerian Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, is prioritizing cassava as a key element in industrialization efforts, as discussed at the 2nd African Cassava Conference 2025. The theme focuses on building a sustainable and quality-driven cassava industry in Africa.
Nigeria aims to shift from exporting raw cassava to producing high-value products like starch, ethanol, and animal feed for both domestic consumption and export across Africa. Key figures like Prof. Pierre Damien Habumuremyi from Rwanda stress the need for industrial conversion of cassava to unlock its economic potential.
Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh highlights Nigeria's significant cassava production capacity, contributing substantially to the GDP and various industries.
