In a groundbreaking stride toward agricultural transformation in Gombe State, Premier Seed Nigeria Limited, a leading player in the nation’s seed industry, is set to unveil its first ultra-modern seed processing plant at the Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park, Dadinkowa, Gombe.
The commissioning ceremony, scheduled for Tuesday, will be performed by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairman of Obasanjo Holdings, alongside the Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya.
The new seed processing plant is equipped with cutting-edge technology for the cleaning, grading, treating, and packaging of certified, high-quality, and climate-adapted seed varieties.
