Kaduna State is set to benefit from the Federal Government’s US$500 million Sustainable Agricultural Value Chain for Growth (AGROW) Programme, a major agricultural intervention expected to stimulate investment, improve productivity, strengthen food security and create jobs across participating states.
The programme moved from the planning stage to implementation after Vice President Kashim Shettima received the AGROW final report at the State House in Abuja, paving the way for participating states, including Kaduna, to begin execution.
Governor Uba Sani was represented at the event by the Deputy Governor, Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, who attended alongside the Commissioner for Agriculture, Murtala Dabo.
Speaking during the presentation, Vice President Shettima said the AGROW Programme would place farmers at the centre of Nigeria’s economic development by boosting agricultural productivity, strengthening value chains and attracting greater private sector investment into agriculture.
