President Muhammadu Buhari will today, unveil one million bags of rice paddy stacked as pyramids at Abuja.

Considered to be the biggest of its type in Africa, the pyramids are located on the grounds of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industries on Airport Road.

The rice pyramids were built with one million bags of rice paddy planted and harvested from states across the country under the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, ABP.

The bags of rice paddy that formed the pyramids were recovered from farmers in lieu of cash to pay back for the loans they collected under the ABP.

The Anchor Borrowers’ Programme of the CBN was launched in November 2015 to bring relief to farmers and impact the value chain of different crops in Nigeria.
