Adamawa State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the agricultural sector and the overall development of the state.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, represented by his Deputy, Professor Kaletapwa George Farauta, flagged off the distribution of agricultural livelihood intervention to cooperatives by the North-East Multi-Sectoral Crises Recovery Project (MCRP) across the 21 local government areas.
The government has emphasized initiatives to modernize and transform the agricultural sector, which has been affected by climate change, to enhance productivity and revenue generation.
The MCRP Coordinator, Dr. Maurice Vunobolki, stated that the aim is to rejuvenate the agricultural sector and restore dignity and hope to farmers, particularly women and youth, who are the backbone of the sector.
The distributed farm inputs include solar-powered mini irrigation pumps, fodder seeds, organic fertilizers, insecticides, sprayers, and planters, among others. The World Bank representative, Serena Cavicchi, described the initiative as a solution to ensure food security and sufficiency in the state.
