Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar has assured of federal government’s commitment to safeguarding land rights while boosting agricultural productivity.
He gave this assurance on Sunday to farmers and pastoralists in Udobo, Gamawa Local Government Area of Bauchi State, during a community engagement in the historic agrarian town.
He outlined President Bola Tinubu’s plans to combat food insecurity through rural empowerment, science-driven farming, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
The minister who lamented that though Udubo was a hub of Nigeria’s agricultural output between 1960s-70s but the story has changed because the community had been largely neglected by the state government for decades as floods and climate change continue to impact lives and harvest.
He noted and commended the urgent support from the federal government which he credited improvements in the situation to.
