President Muhammadu Buhari have today flagged off the National Young Farmers’ Scheme, designed by the newly-revived National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA), as part of its efforts to expand and modernize agriculture in Nigeria, and also increase opportunities for youth participation.

According to Mr President, I have directed that all NALDA’s abandoned farm estates be retrieved to enable thousands of our young men and women to be engaged in modern, mechanized farming. I am confident that, under my watch, Nigeria will achieve food security; we will produce most of what we eat.
