To tap into the $16 billion African fertiliser market under the AfCFTA, Morocco's Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is set to collaborate with Nigerian industry players.
The university aims to drive innovation, training, and research that will strengthen fertiliser production across Africa.
UM6P's Chief of Staff, Khalid Baddou, revealed plans to support Nigeria's fertiliser sector through capacity building and technology transfer, noting that the sector has seen over $15 billion in private investment recently. Key players like Dangote and OCP have helped grow local manufacturing.
