President Bola Tinubu has given his approval for the reappointment of Vincent Isegbe as the Director-General of the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) for another five-year term. This decision comes after the service’s recent success, ranking among the top three agencies of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the efficiency and transparency index by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).

In a brief statement released by Tinubu’s media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, it was emphasized that the President has high expectations for Isegbe to continue building on the service’s achievements. With a focus on enhancing agricultural quarantine measures and promoting trade in the region, Isegbe’s leadership is crucial in ensuring the success and growth of the NAQS.

This reappointment signifies a vote of confidence in Isegbe’s capabilities and dedication to the agricultural sector in Nigeria. As the country strives to improve its business environment and promote transparency, the role of the NAQS becomes increasingly important in facilitating trade and ensuring the safety of agricultural products.

With this extension of his term, Isegbe has the opportunity to further solidify the NAQS’s position as a key player in Nigeria’s agricultural landscape. His leadership will be instrumental in driving innovation, efficiency, and sustainability within the service, ultimately benefiting farmers, businesses, and consumers across the country.

As we look towards the future of agriculture in Nigeria, the reappointment of Vincent Isegbe as the Director-General of NAQS sets a positive tone for the industry’s growth and development. With a renewed focus on excellence and progress, Isegbe’s leadership will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success of the agricultural sector in Nigeria and beyond.
