The Minister of Agriculture, Abubakar Kyari, has said that the Federal Government is giving a 50 percent subsidy to wheat farmers across the country to ensure adequate food security.
He said President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda was aimed at making sure that Nigeria secured food production starting next month, with wheat given prominence in dry season farming.
The minister, who was in Kano and Jigawa states to supervise the wheat seed production on Friday, expressed satisfaction.
Kyari noted that the Federal Government’s plan to secure the nation’s food production and be self-sufficient and dependent on local production is one way of ending the importation of seeds and wheat.
