The Managing Director of the Hadejia Jama’are River Basin Development Authority (HJRBDA), Alhaji Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, has reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to supporting President Tinubu’s administration policies on food security, both regionally and nationally.

He emphasized that the HJRBDA has the potential to comprehensively address food insecurity challenges with the support of stakeholders

During a condolence visit from the Apex Fadama Farmers Association leadership, following the passing out of his brother, Alhaji Bichi commended President Tinubu’s timely intervention in releasing fertilizers to farmers for dry-season farming, acknowledging it as a step in the right direction.

The farmers shared their challenges, highlighting multiple taxation as a significant issue. They revealed that traveling from Kano to Lagos, they encounter 39 roadblocks where they’re taxed, resulting in substantial taxation that contributes to the constant rise in food prices.

In response, Alhaji Bichi pledged to support the farmers by engaging stakeholders and taxation experts to address their challenges.
