THE Federal Government, Tuesday, assured Nigerians to use technology to galvanize food production as it expressed commitment to diversifying the economy using the agricultural sector.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Dr Ernest Umakhihe, gave the assurance at the opening ceremony of Information Communication Technology for Development for Monitoring and Evaluation for FGN/IFAD Nigeria Projects, in Abuja.
He maintained that agriculture has to be diversified through the use of technology, hence without technology, Nigeria cannot achieve much in food security. He said: “So, what IFAD is doing here is completely in alignment with the direction of the Federal Government of Nigeria. She further stated that the essence of digital training in monitoring and evaluation is to also use ICT4D to scale up results for farmers. She said when ICT4D is used for the solution, IFAD will be able to not only make sure that staff use this solution to work on the project but also to have farmers use these solutions to give feedback on the project and feedback on how IFAD can improve.
“So the essence of this digital training in monitoring and evaluation is to use ICT4D to scale up our results for farmers. When we use the ICT4D solution, we will be able to not only make sure that staff use this solution to work on the project but also to have farmers use these solutions to give feedback on the project and feedback on how we can improve.
