Abeokuta \u2013 Alhaji Nojeem Awodele, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, on Monday reiterated the Federal Government\u2019s commitment to support farmers through the Fadama programme.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Abeokuta, Awodele said that farmers would be able to access up to 90 per cent of the funding requirement for their projects through the programme.<\/p>\n

They in turn, would contribute the remaining 10 per cent.<\/p>\n

The National Fadama Development Programme (NFDP) is a World Bank-assisted poverty alleviation programme designed to improve the livelihoods of the benficiaries.<\/p>\n

The programme is also aimed at developing the nation\u2019s agricultural sector.<\/p>\n

He said that the government had initiated a lot programmes to ensure the development of agriculture in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe present government is passionate about agricultural development and to that effect, there are lots of ongoing projects to ensure we achieve our target.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, we have 25,000-tonne silo\u00a0 located at Ikene in Ogun State which is aimed at making life easier for farmers,\u201d the minister.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Federal Government has established a mechanism to mop up excess grains from farmers for storage.<\/p>\n

Besides, he added that no fewer than 10 agriculture-related projects had been completed in the state with several others were still ongoing.<\/p>\n

All these, he said, were targeted at increasing the GDP and consequently solve the current food scarcity in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe premise of development should be our ability to feed ourselves,\u201d Awodele said. (NAN)<\/p>\n
