Volkswagen has announced plans to set up an e-tractor manufacturing plant in Nigeria, marking a significant step towards boosting agricultural mechanization in the country.
The initiative, supported by the German government, aims to enhance Nigeria’s agricultural sector by introducing electric tractors, which are expected to revolutionize farming practices and increase productivity.
Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, revealed this development following a meeting with Germany’s Minister of State, Mrs. Katja Keul, during the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
