Farmers get tractors, fertilizers, seeds, other inputs for 2024 farming season
In support of the food security and agriculture mechanisation drive of the President @officialABAT administration, Vice President @KashimSM has flagged off an empowerment scheme to assist farmers in the country.
The scheme, Kashim Shettima Foundation’s Agricultural Empowerment Programme, launched in Kaduna State at the weekend, heralds the commencement of distribution of tractors, seeds, fertilizers, herbicides, and other essential farming inputs to beneficiary farmers for the 2024 farming season.
The Vice President described farmers in the country as “the underappreciated heroes who till the soil, sow the seeds, and nourish our nation, to whom we owe a mountain of appreciation for putting the county first, come rain or shine,” noting that it is their unwavering commitment that sustains the country.
