The Lagos State Government has urged farmers not to relent in their efforts at food sufficiency for the nation’s teeming populace.

Prince Gbolabo Lawal, the Commissioner for Agriculture, said this on Tuesday in Lagos while commemorating World Food Day, which comes up on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at the Ejigbo Local Government Council Development Area (LCDA).

The government had hosted farmers to an interactive session on issues affecting them and their production.

Lawal urged the farmers to secure the future by making nutritious farm produce available to the people.

He advised the farmers to reflect on the theme of the 2019 World Food Day, “Our Action Our Future: Healthy Diets for a Zero Hunger World”.

The commissioner was represented at the event by the General Manager Agric Land Holdings Authority, Mr. Adeyimika Omirin,

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Olayiwole Onasanya, explained that Gov. Sanwo-Olu was committed to the course of farmers by subsidising the price of fertilizer within the range of N5,000 and N7,000.

By next year, Agric Resource Centre will be established in different parts of the state, one of which will be in Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Onasanya said in a statement by Kunle Oladele, the Head of Media, at the Ejigbo Local Government Council Development Area and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Also, Mrs. Aramide Ganzalo, Director, Agric Business Department, said markets would be created for farmers on Sunday alone.

The Eko City Farmers Market will start on land allocated to farmers at Ejigbo,” she said.

The Executive Chairman of the Ejigbo LCDA, Alhaji Monsurudeen Bello pledged the council’s continuous support for farmers.

Farmers are kings, and we will continue to support you, these farmers’ market will be a profitable venture, that will be beneficial to all and sundry,” he said in the statement.

The statement said that the forum was organised yearly between stakeholders and the government to get feedback from the farmers.

The forum also offers the government the opportunity to initiate new projects that would be implemented for agriculture in the following year.

The forum was organised in conjunction with the Lagos State Government and All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN).

NAN reports that some farmers at the occasion agitated for a reduction in the price of equipment, and for support for youths interested in farming with modern technology to make farming easy.

Yes, farmers should not relent on food production. Kudos to the Lagos State governor. The beauty of food production is exportation. This is the major dividend of agricultural practice. Click on the first link on my signature to master how to go about exporting your food stuffs.

What genuine support is he providing to the farmers?


This man needs serious prayers now. This man completing his first tenure will be a miracle. His tenure will be greeted with so many impeachment attempts.

Will he make it to the second tenure? Only supernatural beings can answer that.

He will, unless he refused to dance to the tunes of he who pay the pipers.

Remember that ''He who pay the pipers dictates the tunes'' that's one of the errors committed by his predecessor, AMBODE, he will not want to walk the same path.

As per impeachment, we have rubber stamp house of assembly in Lagos just like in National Assembly in Abuja, anything the executive arms want received immediate approval. So, let's calm down, we have entered one chance bus @ State & National level.

You know Tinubu - JAGABAN is still much around!!!

Nice suits.

Nice glasses.

Nice ring.

Nice shirt.

But wait a minute, is this what Lagosians will be looking at for the next four years?

What is the plan to fill the trillion potholes in Lagos roads?

Cool

Ok
