Mandate Secretary,

Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat (FCTA), Mr Lawan Geidam,  stated this during a visit to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Abuja yesterday.

The visit was in continuation of the secretary’s familiarisation tour of agricultural facilities and institutions in the FCT.

Geidam said the goal of strengthening the synergy with research institutes was to boost food production and enhance food security, that the critical role research institutes play in achieving sustainable agricultural development.

He acknowledged the valuable expertise and resources that research institutes offer, particularly in sharing knowledge of agricultural innovations and technological practices amongst farmers in rural communities.

“The FCTA recognises that a robust agricultural sector is vital for food security, economic growth and job creation particularly in the FCT, currently grappling with a rapidly increasing population.

“This is why the FCT Administration will be strengthening synergy with your institute as well as other relevant organisations to leverage your knowledge and experience.

“This will enable us to address challenges and implement effective strategies for agricultural transformation,” he said.

Geidam also visited the FCT Livestock Markets in Kugbo and Deidei; Nyanya Veterinary Clinic; Karu Abattoir and Kado Fish Market among others.

At the Karu abattoir, the secretary told the butchers and veterinary doctors that the FCT minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike, had given him an order to implement programmes that would revitalise the sector.

He assured the butchers that a holistic approach would be articulated and presented to the FCTA for implementation.
