In Ganduje’s words: “Today’s combined event marks a major milestone in our strides towards empowering smallholder farmers to improve their incomes, to better their livelihoods and to enhance food security.
“We believe that by increasing access to agricultural services including extension education, inputs as well as equipment, we are not only alleviating poverty but also sustainably building our economy”.
“Beyond producing more food, agricultural interventions such as the one we are launching today are aimed at minimizing idleness especially among our women and youth, with its attendant implications such as rural-urban migration, drug abuse and involvement in criminal activities.” jamb results
