Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says the FCT Administration will partner with the State of Israel on agriculture, security, and digital economy.<\/p>\n

Wike stated this when he received the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Michael Freeman, in his office in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He expressed a commitment to partner with Israel on information technology, particularly in developing the planned Technology Village in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The minister added that the climatic condition of Abuja city is also conducive for agricultural production.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe climate here is good for agriculture, so I would like to partner with you to have a large technology-driven farm to employ a lot of our youths.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be good if you can open that channel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wike also called for partnership to improve the security situation in the FCT, stressing that security was very crucial to enable people to do their businesses without fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us work together to help us reduce some of the insecurity in FCT,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Freeman offered to support the FCT minister in making Abuja a technology hub using Israeli expertise.<\/p>\n

He said currently, when people think about technology, Lagos always comes to mind, stressing the need to work together to build a technology-driven economy in the federal capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to discuss with your team using Israeli expertise to set up centres where people can learn about the digital economy and build digital start-ups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will also be glad to work with you on agriculture in Nigeria to provide jobs. We will also work with you on digital economy, alternative energy and security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are huge opportunities for us to work on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
