Farmers seek better policies, climate condition in 2023

...

Dr Femi Oke, Chairman, All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Lagos State Chapter and South-West Zone, has expressed optimism about friendly policies and climate conditions in 2023 to increase food production.

He said that farmers were expecting more friendly policies from the government this year.

“We expect better policies from the government than last year and what we experienced in 2021, especially in the area of flooding. 

“We hope for a better year for us, especially for us the farmers and Nigeria as a whole,” he said.

Oke urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to work closely with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and registered agricultural associations, including AFAN for more openness.

“Most of the programmes implemented by the government are okay but when it comes to agriculture, we want the CBN to be autonomous.

“The CBN should not be dealing directly with farmers, the bank should work closely with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and notable associations in the sector.
