FMAN Wheat Development’s programme manager, Dr Samaila Aliyu revealed this while speaking at the “Green Field Day” organised for stakeholders to visit farms and engage directly with farmers.

He said the aim of the “Green Field Day” visit was for FMAN to showcase to stakeholders and the general public that wheat production is feasible and attainable in Nigeria, and with current developments in the sector, the country has all it takes to become self-sufficient in the nearest future.

FMAN believes that with genuine commitment from all stakeholders, Nigeria can become a wheat exporter in the nearest future.

“FMAN is currently collaborating with farmers, governments, research institutes, traditional leaders, the media and general the public in supporting wheat production in 17 states of the federation.

“What we are seeing now at Yandutse village of Ringim local government of Jigawa State is clear evidence of FMAN’s efforts to encourage domestic wheat production for self-reliance, job creation, poverty eradication, growth and development,” he stated.

FMAN commended the Jigawa State governor, Malam Umar Namadi for his commitment in supporting wheat production in the state and Nigeria in general.

Chairman of Wheat Farmers Association, Jigawa State, Malam Mujtaba Bayi thanked FMAN for its support and intervention which encouraged many people to join wheat farming in the state and also contributed in making Jigawa State to become a leading wheat production state in Nigeria.

 

Following interventions from the Flour Milling Association of Nigeria (FMAN), wheat farmers in Jigawa state anticipate achieving the highest harvest in the state’s history.

Alhaji Mujtaba Bayi, Chairman of the Wheat Farmers Association in Jigawa, revealed this during the Wheat Farmers Green Field Day held on Wednesday in Ringim local government area.

Bayi commended FMAN’s interventions for contributing to food security and reducing youth unemployment, acknowledging the support from the state governor, Malam Umar Namadi.

Last year, 3,000 wheat farmers benefited, and this year, with increased support from the state administration, around 8,000 wheat farmers in Jigawa benefited from FMAN interventions.

Alhaji Mujtaba assured a bumper wheat harvest, attributing the success to the collaboration with grassroots farmers and the support received from FMAN. The interventions included improved and certified wheat seeds, fertilizers, agro-chemicals, and advice from extension workers.

NNPP Crisis: Assembly Members Deny Factional Differences

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
