President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the executive secretary of the National Agricultural Lands Development Authority (NALDA) to immediately procure additional five spraying aircraft for food security.

Buhari, represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, gave the directive when the agency showcased its achievements in Abuja on Thursday.

“In addition to the one spraying aircraft, I am directing the Executive Secretary of NALDA to procure additional five aircraft in order to have each geopolitical zone covered.”

He listed various equipment for agricultural mechanisation the FG has procured like tractors, combined harvesters, pumping machines, surveillance, and spraying drones among others.

The federal government promised to keep procuring land preparation equipment until it had enough, the president declared.

Furthermore, Buhari charged NALDA to try to achieve food security and also create jobs in the sector.

The NALDA according to the president was saddled with these responsibilities as an additional means of earning foreign revenue besides oil.

Buhari said:

“Again, I charge the Executive Secretary of NALDA and his team to pursue this mandate vigorously without any discrimination, fear or favour, being an agency under the Presidency.”

On training, the president said in terms of human capital, several professionals in different fields of agriculture had been trained and equipped to offer services in the needed areas.

He said many Nigerians also, mostly youths and women, had been trained and empowered in the fields of mechanised agriculture, poultry farming, and fisheries among others.

He said:

“Within these two years of my bringing NALDA back, I am pleased that NALDA under my watch is achieving results that are directly and positively affecting the people, especially from the rural areas.

“In line with my vision of seeing Nigeria lead in agricultural development, I believe that after having resuscitated NALDA, my successors will build on its legacies, so that this country can achieve food sufficiency in no distant time.”

The NALDA boss Paul Ikonne, while speaking, commended the president for resuscitating the agency, which was moribund, to encourage young Nigerians to embrace agriculture.

Ikonne said:

“When we came on board, this administration did not inherit anything in terms of equipment or infrastructure from the old NALDA.

“But as we speak, NALDA has offices in almost all the 36 states, including the FCT, and has acquired tractors, farm implements.”

He revealed that NALDA now owned farms all over the six geo-political zones.

The NALDA boss added that its agency had empowered more than 50,000 young Nigerians, excluding women.
