The National Agricultural Quarantine Service says Nigeria has secured an offer from the Indian government to export pigeon pea worth $100bn to the country.

The Coordinating Director, NAQS, Mr Vincent Isegbe, on Thursday, said that the country would generate appreciable revenue from pigeon pea exports to India when the scheme was successfully executed.

He said NAQS and other Federal Government agencies made a submission to the Indian government on 25 categories of crop analyses, all of which were based on new innovations.

One of our submissions was on Pigeon Pea Pest Risk Analysis, which was successfully done by a team of NAQS scientists.

“We did not invite any other specialist or researcher from outside the country for the submission and Nigeria was given an offer to export pigeon pea to India.
