In his speech, the committee chairman for the civil servant agricultural loan initiative and head of civil service, Alhaji Muhammad Dagacire, said they opened a website targeting 14,000 applicants for the first batch, but over 27,000 people accessed the portal.

“At the end, we screened all the applicants based on the criteria laid down, and we came up with 8,430 beneficiaries for the first batch, and the portal will also open for the second batch to apply,” he said.

The loan package comprises N250,000 for millet, sorghum, and sesame. This will cover the cost of inputs consisting of three bags of NPK and one bag of urea per hectare and the provision of assorted chemicals and pesticides. The balance of the money will be provided to cover operational costs.

“For those cultivating rice, the package is up to N500,000 to cover the costs of six bags of NPK and three bags of urea per hectare and assorted chemicals and pesticides and cash balance to cover the cost of other farm operations,” Dagacire stated.
