The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mohammed Abubakar, disclosed this yesterday during a briefing after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja.
Abubakar said Port Harcourt had been selected as the hub for the twenty-five thousand metric tonnes on wheat expected from Ukraine, as Russia also extends its supply of grains to the country through a United Nations arrangement.
Noting that the wheat consignment from Ukraine is on the high sea, the agriculture minister stated that the hub would create economic activities in the area.
