Farmers to receive seed funding of N100, 000 each
Share

The National Information Technology Development Agency has kick-started a job and wealth creation program which will be supervised by the Federal Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy.

The agency, in a statement, said that the National Adopted Village for Smart Agriculture (NAVSA) program is in line with the government’s drive to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty, and it will start with 130 farmers in Jigawa state who will each receive seed funding of N100,000.

The program targets the adoption of farmers in 774 LGAs across the country. It also aims to open the platform to all agriculture ecosystem players with access to information, facilitate and improve productivity, reduce the cost of production, and facilitate access to local and international markets.

“NAVSA Platform is aimed at digitalising agriculture to drive Digital Economy, as part of President Buhari’s agenda to leverage on technology and innovation to revolutionise the agriculture value chain,” the statement reads.

With all of this in place, it is expected that the farmers will be able to build sustainable business models and digital business opportunities that will create not less than 6 million well-paying jobs in the next 10 years.

Among other things, the farmers will be empowered with a digital platform, smart devices (tablets), connectivity for data and calls, Digital agripreneurship skills, and enrolment with telecom operators and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) for identification.
