FULL TITLE : AN ACT RENAMING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AS THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES |
ABSTRACT : Rationale: Sometimes, name change can make a difference in underscoring official policy.

By so doing, the government serves notice that the sector is also a very important one in the allocation of scarce government resources. |
