FG unveils joint committee on food security

The convention was organised by the Nigerian Women for Agricultural Progressive and Development Initiative.

Abdullahi said the initiative was geared towards advancing the food security agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

He said the ministry had commenced the dry-seeding farming as the country would not be able to feed its more than 200 million people if it solely depended on a six-month training season for agriculture.

The partnership, according to him, is purposely to encourage all-year-round farming.

He said that the country was blessed with abundant water resources and so many river-basin development authorities that should be harnessed for all-year-round farming in order to ensure food security and self-sufficiency.
