The Federal Government has concluded plans to import more tractors that will help its plans for agricultural growth in the country.

The government has also commenced the training of 30 youths on tractor operations and maintenance.

According to Dr Yomi Kasali, who is the Executive Director of the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanisation (NCAM), Ilorin, the institute had started the training programmes for the youths.
State ministries of agriculture, Agricultural Development Projects (ADPs) and other stakeholders in the sector facilitated the training.
The training modules, he said, would not just be for systemic operations of the modern tractors but also maintenance.
Kasali said: “This programme is in line with Federal Government’s policy of training youths to create job opportunities for them, thus reducing unemployment rate in the country.”

Had no idea dey bought some before... Sarrki U don collect ur own?

As good as the thought of tractors are, they are too expensive for the average Nigerian farmer and we are going to need a lot of it to fill the current machinery deficit in our agricultural system. There are cheaper,smaller and simpler tools and machinery that would appeal more to small holder farmers and also affordable.

Another stupid move by FG to import tractors again....

We already have a tryctor in Nigeria....

I expect FG to take this up and give us mass production at a cheap cost of N100,000 to farmers...
