The Minster of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, has said that converting cassava to ethanol is a great road map to economic diversification of the nation’s economy.
According to Nnaji, transforming cassava-to-ethanol will reduce reliance on imported cooking fuel, safeguard the economy against global market fluctuations and fosters self-reliance. The Minister stated this during the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Montserrado Investment Limited and Federal Institute of Industrial Research Oshodi (FIIRO) today in Abuja.
