The Minister of State for Agriculture, Sabi Abdullahi, says President Bola Tinubu’s administration has made significant progress in strengthening food security.

On President Tinubu’s assumption of office, food and commodity inflation skyrocketed as Nigerians battle what can pass for the worst cost of living crisis since the country’s independence over six decades ago.

The minister noted that there is a drop in prices of food commodities, just as he spoke on the government’s target of 21 million jobs for Nigerians in the agricultural sector, saying that they are promoting all-year round farming to achieve that goal.

According to Abdullahi, what the Federal Government is involved in is the promotion of year-round farming, a situation where some commodities can be planted and harvested in maybe 60 days, and some in 90 days.

Recall that the Federal Government had unveiled fresh incentives aimed at attracting large-scale investment into Nigeria’s agricultural sector.

Vice President Kashim Shettima said the measures are intended to boost irrigation, expand credit access for farmers, fast-track mechanisation, and generate millions of rural jobs under President Tinubu’s economic reforms.
