The Honourable Minister of Livestock Development, Idi Mukhtar Maiha, announced the move during a meeting with a delegation from the Nigeria–Türkiye Business Council in Abuja.
Maiha said the engagement reflects the commitment of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to expand international partnerships that support the modernization of key sectors of the Nigerian economy, including livestock development.
He said the livestock sector offers investment opportunities across the value chain, including feed and fodder production, animal health management, ranching systems, dairy development, meat processing, quality assurance, cold-chain logistics and transportation.
Maiha added that collaboration with Türkiye could support government priorities in red meat production, breed improvement through advanced genetics, grazing reserve development, dairy production, food processing and vaccine manufacturing.
Chairman of the Nigeria–Türkiye Business Council, Dele Kelvin Oye, said Türkiye’s experience in livestock development provides practical models that could support Nigeria’s ongoing reforms in the sector.
Oye said Türkiye has developed capabilities in areas such as artificial insemination and genetic improvement, modern poultry production systems, feed manufacturing, livestock equipment and technology, leather processing and pasture management.
He also commended the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development for efforts to reposition the sector and expressed the Council’s readiness to facilitate partnerships between Nigerian and Turkish investors.
