“We are going to continue to make our farms safe for our people.”
The governor gave the assurance during the rollout of seed distribution for farmers for the 2020 planting season by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, in Kaduna.
“We are working round the clock to ensure that these bandits are wiped out before the raining season advances.” El-Rufai commended President Muhammadu Buhari’s agricultural policy, noting that it had succeeded in placing Nigeria on the path of self-sufficiency in many agricultural products such as rice, maize and many others.
According to him, Kaduna state produces 22 per cent of Nigeria’s maize and is also a leading producer of soya beans, tomatoes and sorghum among others. He assured the ministry of the state government’s willingness to cooperate with it on any agricultural programme, so that farmers in the state derive maximum benefits from it.“Even with the improved seedlings this government is giving, greater access to fertilizer, herbicide and pesticide, we need to multiply our production and productivity through investment in mechanization and extension workers.
