<p>Effective from the 2020 planting season, the technical cooperation aims to enhance food security, alleviate poverty, and create jobs, among other things, in rural communities of the state.</p>
<p>The Deputy Governor of Kano state, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, who doubles as the chair, Project Steering Committee, KSADP, and Dr. Amit Roy, Vice-chairman of Sasakawa Africa, signed the pact on behalf of their organizations.</p>
<p>Speaking shortly after the signing formality, Dr. Nasiru Gawuna described the occasion as a memorable milestone in the agricultural development of Kano state.</p>
<p>“KSADP is our flagship project and its aim is to attain food security, increase production and productivity as well as generate employment and more income for our people especially the rural poor”.</p>
<p>“Because of our huge population and the fact that majority of our people are farmers, we are determined to take advantage of the technical expertise of Sasakawa to make agriculture a more sustainable and rewarding venture by assisting our farmers with facilities and inputs, and building the capacity of our agricultural extension workers”.</p>
<p>In a statement by Project’s Communication officer, Aminu Kabeer Yassar said Last February, Kano State Agro-Pastoral Project, an Islamic Development Bank-funded project, with the support of the Life and Livelihoods Fund, was formally inaugurated, to contribute to poverty reduction and to strengthen food and nutrition security of the vulnerable population in Kano.</p>
