The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in collaboration with British American Tobacco Foundation trained 100 small holder farmers who are representative of clusters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in irrigation farming.

The empowerment programme also involved  the distribution of irrigation equipments to the farmers to help them expand their irrigation farming for a year-round food production.

At the empowerment programme in Gwagwalada yesterday, director, federal department of agriculture, Engr A.G Abubakar stressed that irrigation farming remains a viable way to increase food production through year-round farming while leveraging  the abundant water resources to cultivate crops and improve livelihoods through many endeavors during the production cycle.

Represented by the deputy director, irrigation agriculture and crop development division, Sugra Mahmood, Abubakar told farmers to make judicious use of the equipment and ensure an improvement in collective contribution to the national food security drive.
