Mr Mbah asserted on Thursday while receiving the IFAD’s Associate Vice President , Donal Brown, and members of his team who were on a working visit to the state. He explained that the IFAD programme was immensely beneficial to the people because of its objectives, which target rural and smallholder farmers, who are the primary producers of the daily food consumed in the country.
“As such, we want to develop a homegrown relationship with you that enables the investment you have made to become self-sustaining so that whenever you’re in Africa or Nigeria, you can stop by or look back at your legacy,” he added. “When they support the smallholder farmers and provide them with inputs, they teach them skills and can even advance credit to them because they will be encouraged, knowing there is a ready market. So, we are looking for help from you to build some medium to high-level processing centres,” he further added.
The IFAD boss further commended the governor for his drive to sustain the projects and programme, as it is the key to ensuring the aims of IFAD in the country are actualised.
