The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has partnered with the Adamawa Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) to distribute fertilizers to 21 cooperative societies in Adamawa State. This initiative is part of the NEDC's Leadership in Agriculture pillar, which aims to enhance agricultural development, boost food production, and improve the livelihoods of farmers in the North-East.
The State Coordinator of NEDC in Adamawa, Barrister Khalifa Muhammad Lawan, handed over the farm inputs to the cooperative societies' representatives for further distribution to needy and vulnerable farmers in their communities. Lawan emphasized that this intervention aims to increase crop production, support farming activities, and mitigate the effects of escalating agricultural input costs on farmers.
He warned the cooperative leaders not to sell, divert, or misuse the fertilizers, stressing that they should be used solely for agricultural purposes and reach the intended beneficiaries. The Programme Manager of ADP, Hajia Halima Muhammed, thanked the NEDC for the timely intervention and assured that ADP would collaborate with the Commission to monitor the distribution process, ensuring the judicious use of fertilizers to achieve the desired agricultural objectives.
This support is expected to bolster farmers' productivity, contribute to food security, and bolster the state's agricultural sector.
