The Hon. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development

APPEAL FOR SPEEDY APPROVAL OF THE PAYMENT OF YOUTHS/FARMERS INVOLVED IN THE AGRICULTURE FOR FOOD AND JOBS PLAN (AFJP) PROGRAMME:

Your Excellency, unbehalf of the over 30,000 youth workforce and the over 5million registered AFJP farmers I would like to specially appreciate your deligence in ensuring a thorough check and exercising oversight over the AFJP programme.

your have truly demonstrated great passion and an unusual commitment in sustaining Mr. President's anti-corruption agenda and upholding his vision of a rapid and sustainable development in the Agricultural sector of the economy. Your effort is highly commendable and worthy of emulation by all within the coffers of power and indeed Nigerian youths.

The President's recent unveiling of the largest rice pyramid in world history and the country's leadership position as the largest rice producer in Africa among other notable achievement are all tastement of the diligent effort of your likes in eradicating the systematic corruption that affect our growth as a people.

Your Excellency I'll like to go straight to the salient points that nacessitated this letter.

We were reliably informed of the army of saboteurs who claimed there was no Farmers Enumeration under the AFJP programme and the subsequent investigation that ensued by the EFCC and other agencies all at your behest.

As one of the foot soldier of that endeavor alongside other 30,000 Nigerian youths work force enlisted and the over 11,000 active participant I hereby testify that Nigerian youth have gone under the rain and sun, traveled to unimaginable distant villages and creeks to Enumerate and collate the Geo spatial information and details of Farmers whom the programme promised improved seedlings and fertilizers as well as subsidies and 0% interest loans.

In the process of undertaking this critical national assingment some sustained injuries from snake bites, motor accident, boat accident and some were infected with malaria/typhoid fever, fatique and others hospitalised due to the tedious demands of the job.

This is all in an efforts to serve in a programme that we believe would rapidly yield improve agricultural productivity and contribute to the livelihood of millions of smallholder farmers in our communities.

In one instance we heard of one of our colleque who had to pay the supreme price when unknown to him he traveled to serve his father's land in a bandit enclave. (Subject to verification)

You Excellency Sir, The AFJP design and plan which was conceived by the Preident's special Adviser on Agriculture Dr. Andrew Kwasari in technical collaboration with fmardpace and the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN has the potential to be a game changer in rural Agri-financing and development, it would practically lift millions of Nigerians from the poverty line if sustained.

Your Excellency Sir, our prayers is for you to use your good office as a matter of urgency to speedly give approval for :

1. The Immediate payment of the entitlement of Nigerian youths who worked as Enumerators under the AFJP programme.

2. Pay subsidies to small holder farmers who were sidelined during the last exercise.

3. Pay the promised Agri-input loans to registered farmers to improve Agricultural productivity.

Thank you
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Injustice, Corruption, Sabotage in the Agriculture for Food and Job Programme (AFJP)

30,000 Nigeria Youth involved in the Agriculture for Food and Jobs Plan (AFJP) denied payment by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and rural development (FMARD).

Over 3 Million Farmers denied access to the promised Agri-input loans and others denied subsidies.

Youth denied promised employment by FMARD as Agric Extension officers to boost Nationwide Agricultural productivity.

Your Excellency Sir, your passion and vision for a rapid and sustainable development in the Agricultural sector of the economy is worthy of commendation and admiration. Your recent unveiling of the largest rice pyramid in world history and the country's leadership position as largest rice producer in Africa among other notable achievements cannot go unnoticed. Your administration would go down in history as one that championed an uncommon Agricultural revolution.

Worthy of note is your infrastructural development drive that is rolling out high quality roads and bridges nationwide, modern railway infrastructure in critical route and clear cut policies geared towards revamping our delapidated and neglected national infrastructures.

Time will not permit me to go into details of your developmental stride in our national life as this is not the purpose of this letter. You'll be remembered surely by Nigerian youths as a visionary with few words but massive action.

However, it is with intense disappointment that I express the pains of over 30,000 Nigerian youths who out of sheer patriotism and a desire to make a decent living got enlisted in the Agriculture for food and job Plan AFJP to Enumerate and register small holder farmers who would be issued improved seeds and fertilizer subsidies as well as 0% interest loans in the 36 states of the federation, the FCT and the 774 local government areas as part of the Economic sustainability Plan ESP headed by the Esteemed Vice president of the Federal republic of Nigeria Professor Yemi Osinbanjo.

You Excellency Sir, The AFJP design and plan which was conceived by your special Adviser on Agriculture Dr. Andrew Kwasari in technical collaboration with fmardpace would have been a game changer in rural Agri-financing and development it could have received global commendation as a programme that has visibly and practically lifted millions of Nigerians from poverty but the hope of millions of farmers registered as well as the youth who worked as Enumerators to register and get the geo-spatial information of these farmers were dashed.

Your Excellency, it is quite Unfortunate that the Permanent secretary and Ministers of Agriculture (former and incumbent) have subjected the payment of 30,000 Nigerian youth involved in the AFJP programme to bureaucratic frustration and humiliation. Nigerian youths who were zealous and enthusiastic in revamping our Agricultural sector had their spirit broken by unending promises of payment for work done for over 2years now .

Millions of registered Farmers are denied access to the promised Agri-input loans and others denied subsidies.

The promise of employment of youth as Agric Extension officers to boost Nationwide Agricultural productivity has gone down the drain.

Your Excellency Sir our prayers is for you to use your good office and prevail on the
Ministry of Agriculture to as a matter of urgency:

1. Immediately effect the payment and entitlement of Nigerian youth who worked as Enumerators under the AFJP programme.

2. Pay subsidies to small holder farmers who were sidelined during the last exercise.

3. Pay the promised Agri-input loans to registered Farmers.

4. Employ Enumerators as Agric Extention officer to improve Agricultural productivity.

Thank you
God bless the Federal republic of Nigeria.

Illuminatiship:
Assuming you saw a laptop of 97K. You didn't have the cash, so you borrowed 50K from ur mom and 50K from ur dad = 100K. You bought the laptop which left you with 3K change. You gave ur dad 1K and ur mum 1K and kept the other 1K to yourself. Now you owe your mum 49K and ur dad 49K. Now 49K+49K = 98K + ur kept 1K = 99K.Where is the missing 1K? I know you are smart and intelligent. Solve it and give me the answer.

Orga nothing is missing, the 1k he kept for himself should be added to the 97k which is equal to 98k(that is the money he is owing since he paid just 2k)

Earlier this year, I was in Port Harcourt for work and I had to get to Market Square on Peter Odili Road for some work materials.

Finished buying and stepped out to get a taxi and this guy walked up to me with a smile on his face....Greeted "hello" and I responded.

Then he said to me, "go to xhdyz hotel on xyz road and wait for me, I'll meet you there soon".
Then he went ahead to give details of the place, I'm not familiar with Port Harcourt roads but I'm pretty sure he mentioned Rumuola area.

For a moment, I was too shocked for words so I stared in unbelief, disgust or maybe his juju caught me for a few minutes.
Then I turned in anger and said, "are you mad" then proceeded to say a lot of other things to me.

I noticed that each time people passed us, he'd say "are you talking to your husband like that, is that the right way to talk to your husband". So people looked at me cray cray. The funny thing is, I couldn't leave..I was cussing him out yet I couldn't feel my legs let alone moved them.

He kept throwing the husband line and telling me to move to that hotel and a whole other stuff, he also had a bottle of water he occasionally drank from...I didn't make anything of it.

People didn't get close because they thought it was family issues and on my own part, I was too dazed to speak.

I don't know what happened but somehow I found my voice and scolded him even more and this time louder. Then I turned to the security man around and asked if he knew the guy, I explained what happened to him and he said the guy told him I was his wife.

I left the goat there and walked to the road, he stood and stared for some minutes. I boarded a taxi going my way. Immediately I got in, I saw this same guy seated in the taxi or he joined after I boarded ,I can't remember now. But he kept looking at me, drank from the bottle and then started talking again. When the driver looked back, he tried to play the husband card again. But I didn't let him speak.

This time, I was really angry so I yelled at him so much while explaining to the driver...The driver swerved to the side of the road and asked him to get out....he did and the driver moved.

Told me to go thank my God because the man is either a serial rapist, murderer or ritualist.

Here's the shocker, during that incident, I remembered the name of the hotel he told me to go to while the incident lasted, but after the driver chased him out, I explained everything to the driver but I could no longer remember the name of the hotel....I only remembered Rumuola.

The driver said I don't even understand what God did for me.

Yesterday evening, I had a similar experience again in the same port Harcourt but this time around King's Assembly. I stayed somewhere close to King's Assembly so after I return from work, I'd take a stroll.

Yesterday, I had a meeting around Big Treat and after the meeting, I left for my accommodation and just as I made to cross the road, this guy came from nowhere and put one of his hands on my neck calling me something "sweetheart".
With a scowl on my face, u shouted "who's your sweetheart, shey you're mad". He called me that again. Something just told me to run back to where I was coming from and I did. I ran back to those guys selling stuff around there and pretended like I was buying fruits. I explained everything to a female hawker around there and she told me to stand there till the guy left and she said "even if na tomorrow"

I stood for some minutes and this guy didn't leave....he stood on that road stuff waiting for his mother not me.
It wasn't long, a Camry came with two guys in the owner's seat, he jumped from that stuff, crossed the road quickly and got into the car and they zoomed off.

I like to believe this is the new way of kidnapping, scam, ritual or whatever they're doing. .

Once I was riding with a client and this SUV was infront of us, a woman was squeezed between two men and one of them had a baby who was crying uncontrollably...it was obvious that all wasn't well because why wasn't she feeding the wailing baby and she had fear written all over her face. The driver had a small white sheet betweeb his lips.

One look at them and my client said, "Kai, they don kidnap this woman". And he was like he'd call the attention of the police when we reach the checkpoint! Whosai! They got to a point and drove into another street.

They have a new style now and they probably operate with something on their tongues to weaken their victim's defense.

Please be safe.
I have left your city for you people, abeg!

According to a report by SaharaReporters, the beneficiaries of the Agriculture for Food and Job Plan (AFJP) under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development have cried out that they are being owed three months’ stipends.

The agricultural scheme was inaugurated by the Minister of Agriculture, Sabo Nanono-led ministry and the Project for Agricultural Co-ordination and Executive (PACE). 

It is aimed at boosting locally grown food supply and creating employment opportunities in the agriculture sector.

According to the scheme, the enumerators are tasked with capturing farmers’ information and paid N500 for the valid capturing of each farmer.

Nanono told journalists at a press briefing in Abuja last year that the AFJP scheme would be a joint venture involving the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Central Bank of Nigeria, private sector operators and farmers.

“This programme will be achieved through investment in the sector by way of providing zero interest input financing options such as fertilisers and seeds to farmers across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to produce harvests that could be sold domestically and internationally,” he stated.

According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Agriculture, Dr. Andrew Kwasari, who spoke when the programme was kicked off, the ministry will also train them but nothing of sort has been done.

According to a source who spoke to SaharaReporters on Monday, some people who were disengaged from the N-Power scheme of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development from batches A and B of 2016 and 2017 respectively also joined AFJP, thereby having double financial calamity of non-payment of stipends by the Nigerian government.  

The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity said, “For more than three months now, enumerators are yet to receive their stipends. And also remaining fifty per cent of the stipends from the inception of the programming are yet to be paid.


“Enumerators had tried their best to get their voice to the necessary authority but nothing has been recorded as the outcome of their hard labour.


“They also promised to train and certify the enumerators after the enumeration exercise. Enumerators are still expecting the fulfilment of this promise.”


One of the aggrieved enumerators, Benedict Ejeh Anyebe posted on the AFJP’s Facebook page, “Stop tormenting the innocent citizens who have chosen to serve their country in all diligence. We served the country as a youth corps (member), we served as N-Power beneficiaries for 2 to 4 years respectively. We have served for over a year in this enumeration process. What have we really done to deserve all of these?”

Another victim of the scheme, Gambo Lawal said, “By the special grace of God, what your children will face in future shall be worse than the situation that you people inflicted on us (enumerators). (As we are) working for a year without salary and you’re thinking this country will be in order. Insha Allah, you will surely obtain the results for your action soon.”

In his own reaction, Onah Ikwe commented, “Reminder!!! You’re yet to pay enumerators for the work done and grants to farmers. Don’t forget to do so. Thanks.”

THE FAILED PROMISE OF FMARD-PACE, SHY-FACED/REGRETTED ENUMERATORS AND THE DUSTED-EYED POOR FARMERS.

By Abubakar Umar Gbs
24th August, 2021

If you haven't forgotten, the presidency approved and released the sum of 600b for disbursement to farmers more than a year ago.

The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) unveiled the Agriculture for Food and Jobs Plan (AFJP) in JUNE 2020 to capture farmers/farm data through the FMARD-PACE enumerators who were promised of N500 per enumeration and the subsidies to be given to farmers in according to farm size/product quantity of farm products of the farmer in terms of interest-free loan plus free inputs.

The enumerators tried their best, the best they can to help their fellow community members, captured, captured, recaptured farmers, but the promise was not fully fulfilled.... They are either paid half or none. Some solely continued, some stopped (including me) as it proved waste of time to a number of enumerators.

Later The same enumerators were informed of their possible appointment as agricultural extension workers, the matter swept and covered under the huge carpet. Their hopes were diminished... They abandoned their farms, other things to serve their country as enumerators but they were failed.

The farmers are left with hope for more than a year without any positive outcome despite the fact that some of them received messages of their successful selection. They have been assured of fertilizer subsidies, interest-free loan... Which are still in their mind and still hoping.

The enumerators are always on hide... Farmers will be asking the enumerators of the authenticity of the program... The enumerators become untrusted on the eyes of most farmers because of the FMARD-PACE's dilemma.

Imagine, the poor farmers who are desperately in need of financial or farming materials/inputs are left with hope. Some of which aren't even able to buy a mudu of fertilizer, some who can't even afford to pay a single farm labourer to work in their farms as most depend on their family as source of labour.

They were advised to open bank accounts, they did. Advised to enroll for BVN, they did. Advised to link their BVN, they did, shortlisted, but no single farmer received a single Kobo or a piece/unit of fertilizer or even seed.

The blame is now on the heads of FMARD-PACE enumerators instead of the class owners, the FMARD-PACE. The FMARD-PACE has become an an object of mouth discussion and untrusted on the eyes of most farmers, so the enumerators (who have the 90% share of the blame)

Some (or most) of the enumerators regret their involvement/enlistment as enumerators of the ministry that can't follow a promised direction, but a bank of mouth-say.

As I am writing this, no single farmer has received anything from the ministry and it's a year and three (3) months already since the promise was made to the enumerators and the poor farmers. The enumerators who sacrificed their time, data and other resources for the sake of their fatherland and the farmers who are trying their best to feed their fatherland and themselves are left with their mouth dusted and their eyes dusted. There plans diminished.

The farmers (dry season farms) were harvested for the second time, others (rainy season farms) are about to be harvested for the second time since the beginning of the enumeration.

Agriculture which is said to be the most important of all sectors is now being kicked from side-to-side in the air by the ministry that was given the responsibility of the sector on it's both palms.

I am calling all concerned to speedily do the best they can to fulfill the promise and the hope they have put into the head of the farmers. Which I think has become a RIGHT since it was promised.

The Federal Government has hinted that the over two months’ ban on the social networking site, Twitter, in Nigeria will be lifted soon.

This is as it said that it has reached an agreement with Twitter in most areas of misunderstanding.

Recall that on June 5, 2021, the FG had officially banned Twitter’s indefinitely, thereby restricting it from operating in Nigeria after the social media platform deleted tweets made by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), warning the Indigenous People of Biafra that they “will be treated in the language they understand”.

The FG had interpreted the deletion of Buhari’s tweets as discourteous and hinged upon “a litany of problems with the social media platform in Nigeria, where misinformation and fake news spread through it have had real-world violent consequences”.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lal Mohammed, while fielding questions from the press at the State House after Wednesday’s FEC meeting updated Nigerians on the issue saying that progress has been made in resolving the stalemate following series of meetings.

Mohammed explained details of the conditions given to Twitter, saying that most of them have been accepted.

Buhari names Lai Mohammed, Malami, Fashola, others to dialogue with Twitter
He said the areas still pending such as Twitter setting up an office and having a Twitter staff of management cadre that will serve as the country representative, are still being discussed.



The Minister also disclosed that on the issue of a Nigeria-based office, even though Twitter has agreed to the condition, it is, however, maintaining that the earliest it can establish that is 2022.

He expressed confidence that everything will be ironed out with Twitter within “matter days or weeks”, noting the anxiety that has been shown by Nigerians.

He said FG’s committee negotiating with Twitter will meet on the agreement soon to make recommendations.

Derails later…
