In what will transform the condition of farming communities along the Kano River Basin, the federal government has added another feather to its cap in the agricultural sector as Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday inaugurated the multi-billion-naira Kano River Irrigation Scheme which will touch at least one million lives.

The scheme is a component of the Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria Project (TRIMING).

Speaking at the commissioning of the scheme in Bunkure, Kano, Prof. Osinbajo in a statement by his media aide, Laolu Akande said; “The project is an innovative approach adopted by the federal government which has opened access to life-changing opportunities for the farming communities that are involved with it. 

“It also serves as a vehicle to effectively harness the potential of vast water resources infrastructure, some of which were built well over 40 years ago but largely remained either unutilised or grossly underutilised. 

 “The main beneficiaries of the project include basin stakeholders, irrigation and drainage entities, water users’ associations, farmers, and rural dwellers in the project areas. Through the direct infrastructure investments covering about 37,500 hectares across six states, concurrent activities in agriculture and on-farm water management in these areas, approximately 140,000 farm families with about 1 million people are directly benefiting.”
