He hailed President Bola Tinubu's declaration of a state of emergency on food security in Nigeria

He stated, “It should no longer be business as usual in the different ministries. Stakeholders invited and those not yet invited should be ready to play their role selflessly.

“State of emergency overrides other instructions and laid down principles, thus bypassing usual bureaucracy. But what can man do without water? The National Security Council should invite the water associations for their contribution. “Irrigation using surface water alone cannot handle most of our peasant farmers’ needs and this wouldn’t be fair on farmers from the different parts of the country.

Conjunctive use of both surface and groundwater is critical for sustainable food security and job creation. “Engaging stakeholders in the water sector, especially practitioners within the master drillers groups like AWDROP will safeguard the fund allotted for the food security project. These stakeholders need not be left behind to provide affordable water for irrigation and livelihood,“ he said.All rights reserved.
