Thousands of Displaced Farmers Return to Farmlands
At a press conference in Kano on Tuesday, AFAN National President Dr. Farouk Rabiu Mudi announced that thousands of displaced farmers are returning to their abandoned farmlands due to coordinated security efforts by the current administration, which have reclaimed areas previously controlled by criminal elements. Mudi stated that this has restored farmers' confidence and led to transformations in IDP camps, with many people returning home.
In recognition of the military's role in securing farmlands, AFAN conferred the title of Patron on Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Gwabin Musa. Additionally, AFAN executives participated in an agricultural study tour in Brazil to identify innovations for supporting displaced farmers.
They plan to host the Nigeria–Brazil International Agric Exhibition in Kano in November, in collaboration with the Kano State Government and KACCIMA, with support from several federal ministries aimed at transitioning Nigeria from subsistence to mechanized agriculture.
