The Federal Government has reiterated plans to open a grain hub, identifying Port Harcourt, Rivers State as a target location.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mohammed Abubakar, revealed this during a briefing after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Abuja.

Abubakar said that Port Harcourt had been selected as the hub for the 25,000 metric tonnes on wheat expected from Ukraine, as Russia also extends its supply of grains to the country through a United Nations arrangement.
