Jigawa State signs a $10 million joint-venture agreement with India’s Srinivasa Farms to build a modern poultry hatchery for day-old chicks. The planned facility is described as the first of its kind in Northern Nigeria, aimed at improving the local supply of chicks for poultry farmers.
Across the coverage, outlets consistently report the ownership split: Srinivasa Farms holds 60% equity while the Jigawa State Government retains 40%. Premium Times and The Punch focus primarily on the deal’s headline figures and the purpose of the hatchery. Nigerian Eye adds more background on how the partnership is pursued, including the governor’s visit to the firm’s facilities in India, as well as references to training and technical support for smallholder farmers and expected impacts on food security.
