The global hunger and food security initiative of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has recently awarded $26.6 million in co-investment grants to 33 companies in Nigeria.
This announcement was made by Ms. Michelle Corzine, the Director of Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Power at USAID, during a partnership meeting in Abuja.
