AFAN Urges Support for Tinubu’s Agricultural Agenda
The All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) has called on farmers across the nation to support President Bola Tinubu’s agricultural transformation agenda aimed at enhancing Nigeria's agricultural potential and food production. AFAN President Farouk Mudi made this appeal during a press conference in Kano on Tuesday.
He emphasized the Federal Government's initiatives to reclaim farmlands previously occupied by bandits, which has provided relief to many farmers through improved security measures. Mudi praised the partnership between AFAN and the Federal Ministry of Defence, which has facilitated the return of farmers to their lands and the repatriation of internally displaced persons.
He announced that AFAN would host the Nigerian-Brazilian International Agric Exhibition in collaboration with the Kano State Government and the Kano State Chamber of Commerce in November 2026. This initiative, supported by various federal ministries, aims to transition Nigeria from subsistence to mechanized agriculture, positioning the country as a significant agricultural hub in West Africa.
