The group made the call during a courtesy visit to the head of the civil service of the federation, in Abuja.

Speaking during the visit, the head, gender and secretary, National Gender Steering Committee, Mrs Ifeoma Anyanwu, noted that there is huge gender disparity in agriculture in the country, especially with regards to access to inputs.

The federal government on October 31, 2019, launched the National Gender Policy on Agriculture, aimed at providing a policy direction for the different roles of women and men in agriculture for development and gender equality in access to resources.

Ayamu said the policy, with its 11 objectives, serves as a tool for achieving gender-based reforms, increasing productivity by men and women along all the value chains in the sector.
