Illaj Integrated Farm (IIF) in Kaduna has announced its readiness to launch the largest centre pivot irrigation system machine in Africa. The machine will transform grass and crop production for both local and international markets.

The general manager of IIF, Alhaji Ibrahim Salisu, disclosed this development during an interview with journalists in Kaduna yesterday.

Salisu said that the project is a major step forward in modernising agriculture in Nigeria, which, according to him, would boost the mechanised system of farming.

“This is not just about farming—it’s about innovation. We are introducing a state-of-the-art centre pivot irrigation system to produce different varieties of grass and crops, especially for poultry and other agricultural uses.

“Large expanses of land will be utilised to implement a fully mechanised farming system. This modern approach will ensure year-round cultivation, even during dry seasons, through efficient irrigation methods.

“Centre pivot irrigation is an advanced system that uses a rotating sprinkler mounted on wheeled towers, which distributes water in a circular pattern from a central point. It’s a technique known for its uniform coverage, water efficiency, and suitability for large or irregularly shaped fields,” he said.

 

He added that Kaduna State is fortunate to pioneer this technology on such a large scale.

 

He said, “This system will not only support domestic agriculture but will also position Nigeria as a potential exporter of grass and related crops. This is the biggest centre pivot irrigation transforming modern machines using solar energy for their productivity.”

 

He said the project would put Kaduna on the global agricultural map.

 

He noted that the system can be remotely managed, allowing precise control over water distribution with minimal manual effort.

 

“Once fully operational, the system requires less labour and offers more efficient farm management. It will also attract attention from agricultural research institutions and universities from African nations,” he added.

 

He expressed confidence that the farm’s efforts will boost Nigeria’s agricultural export potential and attract foreign investors.
