He hailed Lagos State and Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms. Abisola Olusanya, for the synergy and cooperation.

Badmus lauded the ‘initiative and described the firm’s chief executive officer as passionate about food security, and healthy living.
Iya Rainbow urged investors to replicate the idea in Nigeria, and hailed the firm for a clean environment.
