In order to guarantee food security, Nigeria’s water resources ministry has initiated a National Irrigation Development Programme aimed at establishing a one hundred thousand hectares of irrigated farmland across the country.
Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu disclosed this at a briefing in Abuja where he outlined the successes recorded under his two-year stewardship.
Minister Adamu says efforts are also being made to revamp the federal government’s River Basin Development Authorities in a bid to boost agriculture.
He also reacted to the ministry’s allocation in the 2018 budget national budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari.

And, is a welcome development bye.
