Speaking exclusively with Vanguard, the Chairman, AFAN, Sokoto State Chapter, Jamilu Sanusi Mohammed, disclosed that farmers are putting effort into ensuring food availability and affordability by Nigerians in the State, which they have resolved to change the current narrative in the agricultural sector with their return to the farms.
“Meanwhile, the State Government has procured 100,000 bags of fertilizers. In the next two weeks we will start distributing these fertilizers as palliative for our farmers. “For the Federal Government to come in we are yet to ascertain that but we are mobilizing 80,000 farmers for it. “This is our concern as farmers about the sufferings of Nigerians, and so we are working hard to see how to beat down the prices of food by eliminating the cost of irrigation.”
