Charting A New Course: Stakeholders Unveil Roadmap For New Agriculture Minister

Having embarked on its journey, NATIP has set sail under the careful guidance of the former minister of agriculture and rural development, Dr. Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar. The orchestration intends to harness synergy and optimize coordination, facilitating the consolidation of the triumphs gleaned from the preceding agricultural developmental policies.

He also highlighted the necessity of working closely with stakeholders, including farmers’ associations, ministries of transport, science and technology, water resources, environment, trade and investment, as well as the National Agricultural Land Development Authority and state governments. Okafor called for inclusivity, urging the minister to ensure that farmers’ voices are heard and their needs met, including providing rural access routes, irrigation systems, and enhanced security measures.

One of the major concerns highlighted by Egwuda was the lack of proper road networks in rural areas, hindering the transportation of produce to markets. He stressed the need for improved infrastructure to facilitate smoother access to commercial markets for agricultural products. We also need the government to come in is if they can make a loan, a soft loan for farmers at the rural area, it will be so good for us. It will really assist us because major challenges with the farmers is lack of capital.”
