In a bid to enhance the economic development profile of the Niger State, efforts are being made to partner the Republic of Iran in the area of agriculture. This much was revealed by the Governor of the State, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, in Minna when the Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria, Morteza Zorchi, paid him a courtesy call.

It was revealed at the meeting that the move is hinged on the offer made by the Iranian Government to help develop the states agriculture and mineral resources sectors in the face of the fall in global oil price. Says the Governor; we are willing to partner with the people and government of Iran in developing our agriculture and the vast solid mineral deposits of the state. This will go a long way to improve our internally generated revenue.
