Agricnews Digest has extended its congratulations to Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Namibia’s president-elect and the first woman to hold the position in the country’s history. The publication also urged her incoming administration to prioritize agricultural development as a key driver of economic growth.

The center will offer a wide range of services designed to enhance livestock farming in the state. These include:

Veterinary Services: Vaccination, disease diagnosis, and treatment for livestock.

Artificial Insemination: To improve the genetic quality of livestock breeds.

Feed Formulation and Production: Providing high-quality feed to support livestock health and growth.

Extension Services: Training and advisory support for livestock farmers.

This initiative is part of the World Bank’s broader efforts to support Nigeria’s livestock sector, a critical component of the country’s agricultural economy. The center is expected to benefit livestock farmers, pastoralists, and stakeholders, aligning with the Nigerian government’s push to diversify the economy and promote agricultural development.

By improving the productivity and competitiveness of the livestock sector, the project aims to enhance food security, create jobs, and contribute to Nigeria’s economic growth.
