When we came into office, we made a promise to Nigerians that food security would be a major pillar of our Renewed Hope agenda.
We promised to support our farmers, strengthen local production, reduce dependence on imports, and build an agricultural system strong enough to withstand shocks from beyond our borders.
That promise is being kept.

The National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF) and NIRSAL Plc are expanding collaboration on agricultural mechanisation and financing following a meeting held in Abuja.
The engagement builds on earlier discussions between the two organisations on agricultural financing and primary production support.
Speaking during the meeting, NADF Executive Secretary/CEO, Mohammed A. Ibrahim, said closer cooperation between institutions had become necessary to support ongoing efforts to improve agricultural productivity and strengthen the value chain. “The current realities within Nigeria’s agricultural sector demand stronger institutional collaboration capable of maximising limited resources and delivering sustainable impact across the agricultural value chain,” he said.
NIRSAL Plc Executive Director, Operations, Ewaen Imohe, said financing remains critical to improving mechanisation and productivity in the sector. “Accessible and affordable financing remains a critical pillar for improving mechanisation and agricultural productivity,” he said.
The meeting also examined opportunities in irrigation-supported farming, concessional financing, and technology-based monitoring systems, while technical teams agreed to continue engagements on workable partnership models aimed at boosting food security and agricultural output nationwide.
The National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF) has held a stakeholders’ meeting ahead of the flag-off of the Farm Inputs Support Programme (FISP), described as a flagship national economic and social impact intervention aimed at cushioning the effect of rising input costs on farmers across the country.
