The synergy aims to ramp up the production of cassava, rice, maize, and other grains, while ensuring the successful implementation of the 2023-2024 wet and dry season farming across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

During a meeting in Abuja, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, who received the governors of Sokoto State, Aliyu Sokoto, and Niger State, Umaru Bago, emphasised that the partnership aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The collaboration is also in response to the pressing need to address food security emergency declaration, combat food inflation, foster job creation, alleviate poverty, and guarantee food and nutrition security nationwide.

While commending the governors for their states’ agricultural achievements, the minister  stressed the imperative of bolstering the number of extension agents across states and enhancing the capacity and welfare of existing ones to further drive agricultural development.
