Agric. Council Wants Lasting Solution To Herders/Farmers Conflict To Boost Agriculture
The National Council on Agriculture and Rural Development (NCARD), has stressed the need to bring a lasting solution to the challenges of Herders/Farmers conflict with a view to boosting agriculture in the country.
NCARD made this known in a Communique it issued at the end of its 44th Regular Meeting in Abuja. The document was signed by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Alhaji Muhammad Nanono.
It said that when addressed, a resolution of the conflict will end attendant insecurity challenges and boost Agricultural production in the country.
NCARD said it recognised the level of economic devastation the COVID-19 pandemic, floods and general insecurity in the country had caused in the agricultural sector.
According to NCARD, efforts by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to diversify the Nigerian economy from dependence on oil and gas, will reposition agriculture to its rightful place in the Nigerian economy.
It also acknowledged the role of the Federal and State Governments in bringing about lasting solutions to the challenges of food security in Nigeria.
“Council acknowledged the efforts of the Organized Private Sector, Development and Technical Partners, Civil Society Organizations in their quest to solve the challenges of food and nutrition insecurity in Nigeria,” It said.
The council said there is the need for the three tiers of Government to increase investments in rural infrastructure to open rural farming communities to markets and further reduce the migration of youth to urban centers.
