Donor agencies urged to support farmers
The Ebonyi State
commissioner for agriculture and natural resources, Emmanuel Echiegu,
has urged donor agencies to focus attention on programmes that directly
address the needs of farmers.
Mr. Echiegu made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abakaliki on Wednesday.
“Most of the funds approved by these agencies for agricultural
endeavours are channeled into administration, capacity building, and
training of agricultural personnel, instead of actualising the needs of
farmers,” he said.
