 The federal government, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development, has distributed farming inputs to farmers groups in Nassarara state. During the distribution, the state coordinator of the FGN IFAD Value Chain Development Program, UNICEF, said the gesture was aimed at boosting the capacities of farmers to enable them cultivate enough food for residents during the rainy season. Today we are distributing a total of 92 irrigation pumps, 40 solar-powered lapsack sprayer, 8 tri-cycles, 8 garry processing equipment, including grinding machine. This intervention is in progress of commitment to strengthening rice and cassava value chains as well as improving the livelihood of smallholder rice and cassava farmers on sustainable basis. For whatever assistance that comes your way, I beg you in the name of God, make use of it so that you increase production, you increase your livelihood. I have a lot of people around me and I pray that me living with disability, I am well confident to stand here to appreciate the VCDP for their support to me and I pray that more physical challenge will be encouraged to do like the way I am doing. My prayer today is that God will continue to strengthen the VCDP and the IFADs and every farmer that is seated here.
