 As part of efforts to boost for security in Nigeria, the Flourmel Association of Nigeria, FMAN, in collaboration with the CBN, Uncle Borah Programme, has issued farmers of its readiness to sustain the tempo in wheat production across the country. The sufficiency of wheat production in Nigeria is to create more employment for the team of women, youths and women, and to self-farmers in wheat production. Our correspondent, Habila Darofi, filed in the report as presented from our studios. Over the years, food security has been one of the major challenges that need to be addressed by the government, as Nigeria has been producing 20,000 tons of wheat, which is below the demands of citizens. In the new innovative method of the Uncle Borah Programme, wheat farmers have produced large quantities for sufficiency across the country, with over 40 million tons. Speaking at the Wheat Farmers' Green Day in Zaria, the National Programme Manager of FMAN, Aliyu Samila, said the transformation of wheat farming has come to stay in the country. Adding that it requires a strong vision backed by clear rules and responsibilities for all stakeholders to collaborate with farmers. Nigeria imports an average, or spends an average of $4 billion. If we take the current exchange rate, that's almost $2 trillion naira. You know what that means. Being taken out of the country, it doesn't only put pressure on foreign exchange, but it also denies farmers a means of livelihood who can grow and get some of that money, or even all of it as time goes on. Part of the strategies which the CBN adopted is to ensure that we produce this wheat crop in Nigeria to the extent that we will eliminate importation of this wheat. We also took another strategy to ensure that the availability of high yielding seed is made possible in Nigeria. Some of the beneficiaries of the program expressed satisfaction with the support of fertilizers, seedlings and supervision by staff under the program to cultivate deer farmlands. We know that normally farming, when it requires an input, if it's available at that moment, it will give you the good yield. So 70% of the job was done by the company by providing the input for us. We had our fertilizer, we had our seed care, even the staff, we don't have to find someone else to supervise. Even when we're sleeping, they are on our farm supervising it for us and telling us what to do. The thing that I appreciate, although they did, one, they provide good seed to me and good agronomic practice. Secondly, the fertilizer that they give me, I use it. The nature of my farm, I'm very happy. My family are very happy because they want to eat and to take them to school. They're doing well because they have their extension workers. We call them and they visit the farm anytime, at any moment in 24 hours you will see them rounding the farm. The Ancobrower programs are initiated in 15 states that include Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa, KB, Sokoto, Bauchi, Adamawa, Katsuna, Gumbi, Plateau, Taraba, Zanfara, Niger and Yobi to boost wheat production.
