Farmers association pledges support for Nigerian farmers
The All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), has pledged to intensify efforts to make farming inputs more accessible and affordable for Nigerian farmers.
President of AFAN, Dr. Faruk Rabi’u Mudi, who made the pledge said the effort will include making fertilizer accessible, in a bid to strengthen food production across the country.
Dr. Mudi made the commitment during a live interview on Freedom Radio 99.5 FM Kano on Friday, August 22, 2025, in the morning program Barka da Hantsi hosted by journalist Salisu Baffayo.
According to him, AFAN under his leadership is working closely with government stakeholders to develop policies and strategies that will ensure farmers receive timely support. He stressed that reducing the cost and improving the availability of fertilizer remains central to boosting Nigeria’s agricultural output.
“We are in continuous discussions with government representatives to secure relief for our farmers, especially regarding fertilizer and other key agricultural inputs,” Dr. Mudi said.
Speaking on insecurity, which has disrupted farming activities in several parts of Nigeria, Dr. Mudi said AFAN is collaborating with security agencies to protect farmers and safeguard farmlands.
