The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) has inaugurated a committee to review agricultural extension manual of the country towards effective best agronomics services to food security along the value chains.
In the release, the permanent secretary of Ministry, Dr. Ernest Umakhihe asked the committee to recommend manpower training for agricultural extension personnel that would aim at improving services in the sub sector with policy of improved seeds to increasing food production.
The technical review team according to the statement were drawn from both private and public organizations that include USAID, Sasakawa Africa, Federal University of Abeokuta and National Roots Research Institute.
The term of reference as stated in the release includes " review existing extension training manual and incorporate new innovations and proven ideas that will enhance it's efficiency, produce a harmonized copy for evaluation and validation, incorporate corrections and produce a final copy after validation and make recommendations on who is to be trained using the manual"
The statement had the committee being represented by the Country Director of Sasakawa Africa, Prof. Sani Miko giving its assurance that the team would work assiduously towards achieving the set objective for food sufficiency and improved quality seedlings to boost the economy.
Constitutes of committee to review agric extension manual are just ways of profiting themselves and not for the interest of our dear country. It is widely accepted that Nigera is not a poor country that it has been poorly managed by those entrusted with it's development. It's also accepted that Nigera is rich enough to feed herself and the rest of Africa, the major hindrance to this are: those who rule Nigera do not believe in Nigeria because of that they lack political will and patriotic zeal to deal with the problem of food insecurity in Nigeria.hence adopt all forms of nea-biheral economic policies recommenced by the World Bank andIMF for personal profits. This is creating more poverty and hunger in a rich country like Nigeria. Look what is happening now with the extension graduate engaged by FMARDPACE AFJP as Enumerators, is that how life support to be treated? Those committee are they not the same people. Extension work in Nigeria anly need the right people to be employed. Almost all the Enumerators that were engaged in FMARD to captured farmers data are qualified Extension agent. Please our leaders should have love for our country Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteThis is a welcome development, hope the idea will run down the state ADPs and a serous supervision toward achieving this great goal.
ReplyDeleteWish you all the best, but don't forget to mention all necessary things extension service need as we're talking about Nigeria, I'm very sure the team will focus on that not their needs, as you know how extension service turn to in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a great opportunity for Nigerian extension service, because I believe this team will do what will improve the all agricultural activities in Nigeria as the know the whole problems in extension service system in Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteYes, I know one of the committee members (Prof. Sani Miko) Country Director, Sasakawa Africa Association Nigeria Project is a man of proven integrity, hard working person will come up with concrete recommendations to make Agricultural Extension back to it's status of yester years, people like Prof. Ayotunji who is popularly called Father of Extension in Nigeria will put their heads together and bring out an everlasting policy on Agricultural Extension in Nigeria, they should consider shortage of qualified extension personnel in most of our ADPs. I call on the Government side to put all their political will to implement the recommendation they will submit to the Government.
