The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has inaugurated a committee with the responsibility of formulating  a coherent workplan and implementation of the Hand in Hand (HiH) initiative in a bold step to tackle the slow trends in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) targets of reducing extreme poverty and hunger.

The  evidence‐based, country‐led and country‐driven initiative Committee which was launched in 2019 by the director-general, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Qu Dongyu is chaired by the minister of agriculture and rural development, Dr Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar with composition of a National Steering Committee and an Inter-Ministerial Task Team.

Inaugurating the committee  in Abuja, the minister said the focus was to manage natural resources, reduce disaster risk, strengthen food  security and enable economic diversification in line with the FAO country programme framework 2018-2022 for Nigeria as well as the successor framework for 2023-2027.

Specifically, the programme plan captures priority agricultural commodities of rice , sorghum, soybean, maize, fish, tomato, cassava and dairy.

According to the minister, the states selected for the programme include Katsina, Borno, Niger, Cross River, Ebonyi, and Oyo, along ‘social track’, as well as Kano, Ogun, Kaduna, Anambra, Rivers, Bauchi and Kwara, along ‘economic track’.

He explained that the selection of these states for the intervention was based on their potentials for import substitution, export promotion, comparative advantage, social inclusion, and demand gap both national, continental and global.

The permanent secretary in the ministry, Dr Ernest Umakhihe said, the ministry will continue to align and strengthen collaborations amongst the government and non-government institutions for the overall development of agriculture in the country.
