Vice President Kashim Shettima has reiterated the federal government’s commitment to supporting local farmers through targeted interventions, including single-digit loans, to reduce production costs and tackle Nigeria’s food security challenges.

Speaking at the steering committee meeting of the Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit (PFSCU) at the Presidential Villa, Shettima emphasized the need for strategic government support to cushion farmers from economic pressures.

“We need to support our local farmers. Give them single-digit loans. The Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit has metamorphosed into an incubator beyond being an advisory body,” Shettima said.

Governors to Engage Brazilian Delegation on Food Security

According to a statement signed by Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), Shettima directed Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi and Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru to engage with a Brazilian delegation to address food security concerns.

Governor Nwifuru stressed the need for clear priorities for farmers and better planning before each farming season.

Meanwhile, Marion Moon, Technical Assistant to the President on Agriculture and PFSCU coordinator, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to making food affordable for all citizens while incentivizing increased production to maintain food stability.

If I can get a loan of 100k, I will relocate to my village to farm aggressively and make money. Farmers are cashing out big time now. I'm wasting here teaching and earning 30k per month salary as a graduate. It's nonsense. On top that, I go still feed, transport, come pay house rent join. I'm stuck. I wish I get a loan. I wish. I need this empowerment honestly. I hate poverty with passion and I need to alienate myself from it.

Me and you know say na lie and propaganda but instead his senseless supporters will like to fool themselves and believe these criminals in power .

It's when you go for it you will know what I'm talking about.

Useless talks with no action to back it up

The best incentive this government can give to farmers is to end the insecurity challenges citizens and farmers are facing.
People will go to farm if govt puts a permanent end to open grazing, banditry, kidnapping etc.

Correct
