Registered farmers across Nigeria have started receiving essential farm inputs under the National Agricultural Growth Scheme – Agro-Pocket (NAGS-AP) program. 

The redemption process has commenced in several regions, including parts of Niger, Plateau, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and Jigawa states.

According to the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari on his X handle on Thursday, said, “This marks a crucial step in our commitment to empowering our farmers and enhancing agricultural productivity. By providing quality inputs, we aim to support our farmers in achieving higher yields and ensuring food security for Nigeria.

“To ensure a seamless and transparent process, dedicated staff are stationed at each centre to handle enquiries and address any complaints. 

“This initiative is part of the government’s efforts to cultivate a brighter, more prosperous future for the agricultural sector.

“The NAGS-AP program aims to support Nigerian farmers in achieving higher yields, improving food security, and enhancing the country’s agricultural productivity.”

With this significant milestone, the government reaffirms its commitment to the agricultural sector and the nation’s food security.
