A document obtained from the ministry showed that the funds would help in the ongoing National Irritation Development Programme initiated to aid diversification of the economy, guarantee food security and
Minister of Water Resources, Mr. Suleiman Adamu, stated that the project involved rehabilitation/expansion of about 42,000 hectares of irrigation land under the first phase, to be completed by 2022.


“The World Bank is supporting the implementation of the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria Project (TRIMING) with a credit facility of US$495m. The first phase to be completed by 2022, are as follows: Bokolori Irrigation Project 13,500Ha, Kano River Irrigation Project 14,200, Hadejia Valley Irrigation Project 6,000 Ha, Dadiwa Kowa Irrigation Project 3,000Ha and Middle Rima Irrigation Project 5,000 Ha.”

He added that an additional 100,000Ha of irrigated farmland would be established by 2020, another 500,000Ha by 2030.
“We also plan for additional 1,000,000Ha of irrigable land to be developed by the private sector and state governments within the same period. Our recent efforts will enable us to deliver 42,000Ha in 2018 and 41,000Ha in 2019.”

Adamu noted that the utilisation of the fund would help his ministry in rehabilitating and expanding irrigation projects.
He stressed that the challenges farmers had to tackle during the dry season farming period would have been addressed with the creation of more irrigable lands, adding that the TRIMING project also addresses rural poverty reduction through progressive management transfer to users regulated bodies in the form of water user associations (WUAs).

While enumerating his achievements in office, The minister said that in pursuant of the roadmap, the National Water Resources Bill which is still receiving attention in the National Assembly, when passed into law will provide for effective catchment management, greater participation of farmers in irrigation management and regulatory framework for private sector participation in water supply delivery in the country.

World given loans that will enslave nigeria forever. Yoruba people you see the type of people you voted for
Kai baba

Another Loan!

60% of Nigeria's revenue is used to service debt under APC government.

Sadly these projects they're borrowing monies for "are too big to be seen".

I hope one day we'll get it right.
I hope 2019 we'll Atikulate to #GetNigeriaWorkingAgain.

Irrigation fund will improve economy how?

These dunces don start?

Irrigation fund is given to u black donkey as usual to improve the crippled and non existing irrigation systems in nigeria for the masses!

Who are u deceiving? Or u want to divert it into the economy?

Atleast tell us clearly that you want to divert it into the economy to boost it

Collect the loan and share it into your private pockets just like Jonathan did with the $1bn he collected to fight boko haram

The backwardness and mediocrity of nigeria is dumbfounding

“To show to Nigerians the profligacy and ineptitude of the current administration, I draw their attention to the fact that between July and August 2018, the Buhari administration claimed it had shared $322 million Abacha funds recovered by the Jonathan administration to the poor.

Then a week after it made that announcement, the Buhari government borrowed $328 million from China.

How? After 4 years? After a belated "tradermoni" vote-buying scheme? So who is going to pay this world bank loan or it's free?; when this government only kept on manifesting it economic cluelessness?

How can a nation keep borrowing to service debt while the huge chunk of its resources are being frittered away on no profitable endeavours?

Maybe

Half of the money will be embezzled

And find its way back to the western world

My only confusion with APC is they claim they are making more revenue than PDP but from the budget, all sectors we are still collecting loans. They claimed recovery of looted funds in high volume yet we are still borrowing. Who are those chopping the high revenue we are making?

See dunce calling people dunce, can you imagine someone who has gone to school asking how irrigation project will add to the economy?

Irrigating 42,000 can potentially triple the production from the same land, yet you still don't understand what that means to the real sector economy?

Yes when Atiku wins next year, it's more certain all the money will be shared to private pockets, at least they will free Dasuki and rehabilitate him with a chunk of the money, while you all pay the world Bank back with interest.
