Cultivating a Culture of Farming
The government urges Nigerians to adopt a culture of farming, regardless of their primary occupation. Every available patch of land can be transformed into a productive agricultural space, contributing to the nation’s food security goals.
Food Security: A Cornerstone of Tinubu’s Agenda
The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Aliyu Sabi, emphasized that food security is a cornerstone of President Bola Tinubu’s eight-point agenda. He highlighted the multifaceted benefits of food security, including poverty reduction, crime deterrence, and economic growth.
