Yobe trains 178 agricultural extension agents

The Yobe State Government has trained one hundred and seventy-eight agricultural extension agents across Damaturu, the State Capital, and Gashu’a zones.
The two-day training, conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, marks a significant milestone in the state’s efforts to revitalize its agricultural sector and boost productivity to enhance food security in the region.
Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Ali Mustapha Goniri, who emphasized the importance of the training, said it aims to maximize agro-economic output and equip extension agents with the necessary skills to support farmers at the grassroots level,
He maintained that the state government under Governor Mai Mala Buni has made significant investments in the agricultural sector, amounting to billions of naira.
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Barr. Muhammad Inuwa Gulani, noted that extension agents play a vital role in agricultural development, and their responsibilities include disseminating information on improved inputs, seedlings, and pesticides to farmers.
Meanwhile, the Yobe State Government has also strengthened partnerships with Morocco to enhance the supply of fertilizers and other agricultural inputs, aiming to produce high-premium agricultural produce that meets both national and international standards.
This initiative is part of the state’s broader efforts to transform its agricultural sector, which is the predominant economic activity for the majority of the population. The state has a large expanse of agricultural land, lakes, and floodplains suitable for crops, livestock, and fish production.
The government’s commitment to agricultural development is evident in its investment in modern farming techniques, extension services, and partnerships with international organizations.
Two weeks ago, the Yobe government announced a strategic partnership with the Moroccan government to boost agriculture in the state.
