Farmers in the Sawawi local government area of Bauchi state have demanded the return of the Fadama project, saying the project has been very impactful to food security across the nation. .
This was
revealed to food farm news by one farmers’ representative, Mallam Abba who said
that there has not been any project as impactful as Fadama since its
expiration recently. Abbas disclosed that many of the projects brought
to farmers, after the Fadama project have all failed and most times full of
fraud.
According to him "We really benefitted from the fadama project as it has changed our lives on how to farm with better methods. The project taught us a lot and that is why we need the project back as we are able to produce and earn more".
He went further to ask that ‘’ more lasting intervention projects should be brought to the local people to support the development of agriculture across the country with lasting best knowledge of farming being transferred to farmers to ensure all year-round farming’’
The communication officer of Fadama, Bauchi state, Mallam Mohammed Danladi Abdul confirmed that the process is ongoing to transform the project to N-care towards checking the negative impact of COVID 19 pandemic on food security matter.
