The Federal Government, in partnership with China, is set to invest $900 million in large-scale poultry projects aimed at producing up to six million eggs daily to tackle Nigeria’s protein deficit.
According to Joseph Tegbe, the initiative marks a major shift in Nigeria–China relations—from infrastructure-driven cooperation to agriculture, industrial production, and technology transfer.
The plan includes six integrated poultry farms across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, with each facility expected to produce one million eggs per day.
Pilot projects are expected to kick off in Oyo State and Kaduna State, collectively producing two million eggs daily before expansion to other regions.
This ambitious move is expected to boost food security, create jobs, and reduce reliance on imports, while strengthening Nigeria’s agricultural capacity. 🌾🐔
