How we are integrating rural communities to formal economy - Buhari
The meeting of the National Food Security Council


President Muhammadu Buhari, says his administration is integrating rural communities to the formal economy, by extending access to credit and inputs to rural farmers as well as building feeder roads.

 

The President, who noted that his administration has also invested in building strategic grain reserves in recent years, explained after chairing a meeting of the National Food Security Council today, Thursday September 10, that to protect agricultural investments and boost confidence to farmers, thousands of Agro-Rangers have been deployed.

 

He stated: “Food security remains at the forefront of our administration’s agenda. I chaired a Meeting of the National Food Security Council today, where we noted the devastating impact of recent floods on the progress we’ve made so far. Our condolences go to the victims and their families. 

 

“I am pleased to note that many Nigerians are taking advantage of the immense opportunities in the agriculture and agri-business sector. I want to assure you that this Government will continue to support these initiatives and many more to come.

 

“While key actors in the Nigerian Agric space are championing increased hectares under cultivation, it has become very necessary to pivot our attention and resources to how we can improve yield per hectare. We must ensure this.

 

“We are grateful to all our farmers for their hard work. We will continue to do everything to support them, including those impacted by the recent flooding disaster. Already, we are working to ensure the losses from this wet season are replaced in the coming dry planting season”.
