FG Earmarks N600m To Compensate Farmers Affected By Bird Flu by Obinoscopy(op): 11:13pm On Mar 17, 2015

The federal government has set aside the sum of N600 million to compensate farmers whose farms were affected by the avian influenza (Bird Flu).

“So far, 300 farmers were identified as being affected from 18 states of the federation where the disease had manifested,” the minister of agriculture and rural development, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, said.

He made this known at a function at Tahir Guest Palace Hotel, Kano, on Monday, during the “Training-of-Trainers on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Workshop,” organised by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the federal government of Nigeria.

Adesina was represented by a director from the ministry, Dr AbdulGaniu Abubakar, who further stated that 255 farms were so far detected as being affected by the disease.

“One million birds have been depopulated. Our record shows that out of the 255 farms that were affected, Kano has the largest share with 158 farms affected in the 18 states,” he revealed.

He called on the government of Kano State to be up and doing in combating the disease.

“We directed our staff at the ministry to work hand in hand with the Kano State Government in controlling the menace,” stated the minister’s representative.

another desperate step

So everything that the govt does now is seen as an election strategy? Going by what you guys are saying, it means the presidency caused the bird flu in order to use this compensation as a means to gain more votes?

Let's not get stuck on the same line of thought all the time.

Even if these are desperate steps as you say, the most important thing is that Nigerians are benefiting from it.

squandering our reserves just to get re-elected.
so when you compensate farmers for an unexpected loss from Birdflu

what happens to other businesses recording losses due to unexpected naira fall?
Nigerians better be prepared to "drink the garri" after elections because that austerity measure thingie
is only waiting till after elections.
