The Minister of Water Resources, Mr Suleiman Adamu, has urged relevant stakeholders to shift from traditional and unregulated irrigation practices to sustainable land and water use management approach.

Adamu said this virtually at the ongoing meeting of the National Irrigation Forum on Institutional Strengthening and Management of Public Irrigation Schemes in Nigeria and the Annual General Meeting in Ibadan on Tuesday.According to him, Nigeria is endowed with water resources but its sustainability is threatened by land degradation, deforestation, rapid population growth and other social-economic development including the effect of climate change.

The minister said it was expected that NINCID members would deliberate, share ideas, knowledge and experiences on how to advance irrigation and drainage practices in Nigeria. This, she noted included rain-fed agriculture driven by experts, contributions for the development and acceleration of irrigation as well as drainage practices in Nigeria.

Also, NINCID Chairperson, Mrs Oyeronke Oluniyi, recalled that the committee was a subsidiary of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage, dedicated to the improvement of water and land management.
