Hmmm

- Herdsmen/unknown gunmen militia
- Bandits
- Kidnappers
- Free moving cattle herders that encroach into farmlands without remorse

Without addressing the above any agricultural programme across Nigeria is bound to face serious challenge.
The security situation in the country MUST be addressed for there to be any meaningful progress.

This scamming scammers av started again, Oya oga liar moha.. Dish out more! Then over to d gullible youth!

Audio jobs.

Fake.
Agriculture as an industry is almost dead with regards to providing employement.
5 Million Agric-related workers mean 5 million desperately poor people.

APC, would it kill you not to lie even for a second?

I really need a job right now.

I gotta grow w××d...

The bastards are at it again

Amopeola546:
Finally we agric graduatres can smile

As you smiled yesterday.

All these are things one Oga spoke of before becoming minister of Agriculture. He couldn't do one thing before leaving office.

I wish una godspeed.

Another scam

We all need to come forward and think of how this can be sustained and also not allow the crooks that bastardize our oil to derail this also.

I know many young people with sad tales of what happened when they invested in agriculture and in one day herdsmen destroyed their crops.

out of these propose 5m jobs, am optimistic that 4.5m will be from the North......the south will share the remaining 500 hundred thousand!

Babatunde40:
They deliberately put the amount in Euros to avoid it showing 1 billion dollars

995million euros is over $1 billion dollars

you are right the loan is $1.1billion
from 3 banks (2from Brazil) and Islamic development Bank..

5 million jobs they couldn't create in 5yr, is it the remaining 3 yrs under a pandemic they want to create it.

It is unfortunate that our government mostly operate like a scam and directionless organisation.

The Agriculture component of Npower they created, how have they fared...? the so-called loan they gave to market women anchored by the Vice President.. what has become of it?

The insincerity of our leaders and public office holders is the bane of our country.

The Federal Government says it is targeting about five million jobs for farmers through the €995m agricultural mechanisation programme.

The initiative was aimed at boosting food security for the country.

Under the initiative, it added that facilities comprising tractors and other agricultural machinery were expected to be leased out to Nigerian farmers.

It stated that this was coming under the in-kind facility for agricultural mechanisation.

The in-kind facility, it added, was designed to help Nigeria attain food security, create jobs and diversify the economy from oil.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Agriculture, Dr Andrew Kwasari, was quoted in a statement obtained on Sunday as saying the agricultural machines would come from Brazil.

He said when the programme took off fully, it would create at least five million jobs and 35 million nutritional effects and economic impact on Nigerians.

Kwasari said the agricultural machines from Brazil would set the basic foundation across 632 local government areas for proper agricultural service.

These machines, he added, would be leased out to the farmers for a fee, adding that the operations would be privately managed in a competitive manner.

He stated, “Services ranging from land preparation to harvest and storage will be provided timely and on-demand to all farmers in a move to enhance productivity of smallholder farmers that don’t need to own tractors and implements.

“Over 142 agro processing factories will be situated across all senatorial districts to create aggregation, intermediary and final processing of the increased farm outputs on the back of the 632 primary production supporting service centres in the respective LGs.

“This is meant to tackle the primary issues of post-harvest losses commonly suffered by smallholder farmers as well as to domesticate efficient supply chain operations where factories or aggregation hubs are closer to sources of raw material.”

On job creation, training and technological skill transfer, Kwasari explained that the programme was tailor-made to cater to the needs of private operators of the service centres, farmers, extension workers, regulatory and research institutions, among others.

He also disclosed that three years from now, Nigeria would be food secured for the various plant and livestock-related commodities identified to be supported by the programme across the states.

AGRICULTURE REPRESENT THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA.

They should start the Agric revolution as quickly as possible with utmost sincerity and determination.

THE NORTH SHOULD SET UP CATTLE INDUSTRY IN RANCHES ( NOT RUGA ) and start to tap into the beef and milk industry.

NO TIME TO WASTE O!

CRUDE OIL MONEY IS GRADUALLY GOING AWAY.

hmm, funny.

Imaginary government with imaginary programme.

Our leaders have come to sweet talk us again ,when will God make them to be fulfilling what they say ? Fasola promised to fix energy ,up till now nothing is fixed in that sector..
