Registered farmers across Nigeria have begun receiving essential farm inputs under the National Agricultural Growth Scheme – Agro-Pocket (NAGS-AP) program. The distribution process has started in several regions, including Niger, Plateau, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and Jigawa states.
On Thursday, the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, announced on his X handle, “This marks a crucial step in our commitment to empowering our farmers and enhancing agricultural productivity. By providing quality inputs, we aim to support our farmers in achieving higher yields and ensuring food security for Nigeria.”
To ensure a seamless and transparent process, dedicated staff are stationed at each center to handle inquiries and address any complaints.
“This initiative is part of the government’s efforts to cultivate a brighter, more prosperous future for the agricultural sector,” Kyari added.
The NAGS-AP program aims to support Nigerian farmers in achieving higher yields, improving food security, and enhancing the country’s agricultural productivity. With this significant milestone, the government reaffirms its commitment to the agricultural sector and the nation’s food security.
