Mr. Akinboro appreciated the Government and people of Afghanistan for giving Cellulant the opportunity and the space to participate in making life better for small holder farmers.

He said that ‘‘Cellulant is driven to solve difficult problems on using payment technology. We will work with the Government of Afghanistan to get inputs to 1 million farmers in the next 90-120 days’’.
