 Its plant and season and farmers have been getting seedlings to sow. The Food and Agriculture Organization FAO has distributed treated seedlings to about 40,000 farmers in Meduguri. It's part of the organization's 2021 Rainy Season Support Launch, a representative of the Borno State Government who was on ground once the FAO to extend its intervention to more local governments where Namosi has returned. As you are all aware, Borno State is heavily devastated by the insurgency. Over 70% of our practicing farmers were displaced and their farm lands destroyed thereby affecting their means of livelihood. I seek your indulgence to request for extension of some of these interventions to area where Namosi and Pease have returned. There is no doubt that the food, security and livelihood condition in the Bay State still requires a sustained humanitarian assistance, especially with the devastating effect of the COVID-19 pandemic which reveals recent gains that were achieved. The latest card harmony analysis result projected that over 4 million persons will be in dire need of food assistance in the Bay State between June and August 2021 if nothing is done.
