Traditional Rulers Support Nasarawa State’s Agriculture Service-Level Agreement
The service-level agreement between the Niger State Government and the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) is gaining additional support from Traditional Rulers in the state. The initiative, spearheaded by Farmer Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, focuses on encouraging mechanized farming to ensure food security. AFAN members have been conducting advocacy visits to Emirate Councils to secure the backing of Traditional Rulers and sensitize their subjects on the importance of the agricultural initiative. Traditional Rulers, including the Emir of Minna and the Emir of Kontagora, have expressed support for the initiative, acknowledging its potential to reposition the state’s agricultural sector.
