The conference, themed “Climate Smart Agriculture and Emerging Technologies for National Food Security and Global Competitiveness: Building Resilient Economies,” attracted researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and academics from across the country. In his opening remarks, the Provost of the College, Professor M. A. Wailare, said the theme reflected urgent global realities, noting that climate variability, rising production costs, migration pressures, and disruptions in supply chains are reshaping the agricultural landscape worldwide. “For Nigeria, where millions depend on agriculture for their livelihood, the challenge is both profound and immediate,” he said, urging participants to fully engage and offer practical solutions. “Share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and collaborate on solutions that can reshape the future of agriculture in our country.” Read Also: Dr. Gwaram Appointed Provost, Set to Lead Federal College of Agriculture, Kirikasamma Ganduje Attends 3rd National Aviation Conference in Lagos Kano South Senator, Kawu Sumaila Marries NAF Officer in Low-Key Ceremony Representing the Deputy Governor and Commissioner for Higher Education, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, the Executive Secretary of KSSMB, Hon.

The Chairman of the Occasion, Alhaji Nu’uman Barau Dambatta, OON, Ajiyan Kazaure—represented by Alhaji Mukhtar Maje Adnan—warned that climate change poses direct threats to food security, agricultural productivity, and human survival. He emphasized the need for proactive mitigation strategies, stating: “Reducing the effects of climate change should be pursued through increased flora establishment—shelterbelts, tree planting, agroforestry—reduction in fossil fuel usage, modernizing agricultural practices, and embracing agricultural technology.” Dr. Abdulhamid Bala, who served as the Lead Paper Presenter, delivered a detailed and research-driven presentation on climate-smart agriculture and emerging technologies. He highlighted the transformative roles of digital innovation, biotechnology, and precision farming in boosting productivity and ensuring global competitiveness.

The Green Imperative Is Not Just a Federal Government Project — It Is a Lifeline for Northern Nigeria’s Agricultural Future

/

Veteran labour leader, Comrade Mustapha Nuhu Wali, has called on northern leaders, traditional institutions, cooperatives, and private investors to take ownership of the Green Imperative Programme, stressing that the initiative is not just a Federal Government project but a national lifeline for the North’s agricultural transformation. He stated this in a statement released to ‘The Historica Nigeria‘, noting that while the Green Imperative Programme was designed to revolutionise farming across the country, its success now depends largely on active regional participation. “The Green Imperative is not just a Federal Government initiative; it is a national programme that requires regional participation. Northern state governments, traditional institutions, cooperatives, and private investors must now take ownership,” Wali said. Read Also: Food Waivers Threaten Northern Agriculture, Says Wali Reps Move to Establish Nigeria Police Pension Board, End PenCom Control Niger Delta Leaders Push Jonathan to Support Tinubu Originally launched in 2019 under former President Muhammadu Buhari, the Green Imperative Programme was a ten-year mechanisation partnership between Nigeria and Brazil, aimed at supplying over 10,000 tractors, 50,000 implements, and establishing 774 service centres nationwide. The initiative was expected to create millions of jobs and transform rural economies through modern mechanised farming. However, seven years later, the programme has not achieved its full potential. Wali attributed the setback to the limited engagement from state governments and regional stakeholders, who failed to provide the required counterpart funding and institutional support. “Mechanisation cannot be achieved through federal action alone. It requires collective ownership and sustained political will at every level,” he said. He described the Green Imperative as a missed opportunity that could have transformed food production and employment, particularly in Northern Nigeria, which holds more than 70 percent of the country’s arable land. Wali, however, commended the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for reviving and commercialising the programme in 2025, saying that renewed agreements with Brazil and technical partners show a genuine political commitment to sustainable agricultural development. “The revival of the Green Imperative offers a second chance—especially for Northern Nigeria, where the youthful population and vast land mass make it the natural engine of the nation’s food security. Mechanisation is not a luxury; for Northern Nigeria, it is a necessity for survival and growth,” he said. He urged northern state governments, private investors, and traditional institutions to create Green Imperative Implementation Desks within their ministries of agriculture and to train youths and women as tractor operators, mechanics, and service providers. He also called on polytechnics and universities in the region to strengthen practical agricultural engineering and mechanisation programmes to ensure long-term sustainability. “The era of waiting for Abuja is over. Local leadership and regional coordination must drive agricultural transformation,” he added. Wali emphasised that state governments should provide counterpart funding, allocate land for training and service centres, and set clear mechanisation targets in their budgets. He further encouraged cooperatives and private companies to partner with federal agencies in running tractor-hire and maintenance services, while NGOs and development partners focus on youth and women empowerment clusters. He concluded by calling for transparency, accountability, and local assembly of equipment, warning that seven of the ten years originally planned for the project had already passed. “The Green Imperative is not just a federal government project; it is a lifeline for the North. If properly embraced, it can ignite a Northern Agricultural Renaissance—one that feeds the nation, empowers the youth, and sustains livelihoods,” Wali stressed.

Malam Auwalu Umar, Director of the Public Affairs Directorate of the university, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday in Zaria. He explained that the revitalisation move was aimed at repositioning NAPRI for greater impact in livestock research, breeding, and resource mobilisation. Read Also: Ministry of Livestock Commissions 2,000-Litre Milk Collection Centre in Bauchi According to him, the NAPRI Reform and Strategic Transformation Committee is chaired by Prof. J. K. P. Kwaga of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The Vice-Chancellor of ABU, Prof. Adamu Ahmed, described NAPRI as “too strategic to fail in its mandate,” noting that the institute had faced significant challenges in fulfilling its core objectives. Prof. Ahmed said the university declared a state of emergency on NAPRI to address the decline in its statutory functions, stressing that the committee’s assignment was crucial to the success of the reform process. The committee is expected to design and oversee comprehensive reforms that would revitalise NAPRI’s core functions and restore its place as a key contributor to Nigeria’s livestock development goals. He charged the committee to submit an inception report within two weeks, outlining its reform framework and implementation strategy, and assured full support from the university management.

Othman, former Executive Director of the National Agricultural Extension Research and Liaison Services (NAERLS). Others are Prof. Tunji Iyiola-Tunji of NAERLS, Prof. A. K. B.

Food Waivers Threaten Northern Agriculture, Says Wali

/

Veteran labour leader and development advocate, Comrade Mustapha Nuhu Wali, mni, has warned that the Federal Government’s decision to grant ₦97 billion worth of duty waivers on imported food could have devastating effects on Northern Nigeria’s agricultural economy. In a statement issued on Friday in Kano, Wali described the policy as a “short-term political fix” that undermines decades of resilience, self-reliance, and investment in the region’s agricultural sector. He said while the initiative may temporarily reduce food prices in urban centres like Lagos and Abuja, it has already triggered economic hardship among farmers in the North, particularly in states such as Kano, Sokoto, Zaria, Borno, and Benue. Read Also: Wali Hosts Annual Maulud, Calls for Unity, Prayers and Emulation of Prophet’s Virtues “Farmers already struggling with insecurity, high costs of fertilizer and fuel, now face unprofitable markets as cheap imports flood the nation,” he said. Wali compared the policy to Nigeria’s past economic missteps, including the 1986 Structural Adjustment Programme and the rice import era of the 2000s, arguing that both weakened local capacity and increased dependency on imports. He expressed concern that many Northern states had failed to invest their increased federal allocations from fuel subsidy removal in revitalising agriculture. “Dams and irrigation systems such as Tiga, Bagauda, and Danbatta in Kano have deteriorated, while similar facilities in Sokoto, Kebbi, and Borno remain in disrepair,” he lamented. According to Wali, only Niger State has announced a meaningful agricultural revitalisation programme. He also noted that without continuity, gains from the Buhari-era Anchor Borrowers’ Programme and rice initiatives are fast eroding. Beyond crops, Wali highlighted the neglect of livestock management and grazing reserves, saying it has worsened communal clashes in states such as Benue, Jos, and Kogi. While commending the creation of a Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, he said the effort would remain symbolic without collaboration and investment from Northern governors. He warned of the social consequences of agricultural decline, including youth migration, unemployment, and rising insecurity. “Many young Northerners have become trapped in menial and undignified jobs in southern cities, while Almajiri children and youth gangs continue to pose a growing threat to social stability,” he stated. Wali urged the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and other regional institutions to revive their historical roles by promoting regional accountability and mobilising collective action for economic revival. “The North must reclaim its legacy through irrigation renewal, quality education, youth empowerment, and improved security,” he stressed. He called on the Federal Government to reconsider the food import waiver and instead channel efforts into empowering local farmers, expanding irrigation networks, and supporting agro-industrial value chains. “Without this shift, Nigeria risks turning its most fertile region into an economic wasteland and the North’s greatest asset into its deepest vulnerability,” Wali concluded.

He urged the students to embrace the opportunities offered through the programme, saying, “I encourage all participants to take this training seriously. The skills you acquire here will not only secure your future but also contribute to building a stronger and more self-reliant Nigeria.” The orientation programme attracted staff, students, and representatives from the education and vocational training sectors.
