CBN Offers N2bn Agric Loan To Shonga Farms

The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, during a working visit to Shonga Farms In Kwara State has said that the bank and Committee of Governors have decided to supplement the foreign investment in the poultry syndicate of Shonga Farms Holdings Limited in Kwara State with a loan of N2 billion under the Commercial Agricultural Credit Scheme.

The CBN governor, who said the loan attracts a single digit interest rate of 9 percent, stated that Kwara State has a comparative advantage in poultry business making it necessary to support the management and owners of Valentine Farms, operators of the poultry section, whose business, he said, has provided employment for a lot of unemployed youths in the state.
