The statement reads in part, “We write on behalf of All Nigerian farmers to thank and congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, for signing into law the National Agricultural Development Fund, NADF, which will give Agriculture the impetus to truly become the backbone of Nigeria’s economy and bring about the required prosperity to the over 70 per cent of Nigeria’s population currently engaged in SSP/SHF(small scale production/small holder farming) thereby taking the promised over 100,000,000 Nigerians out of poverty by the APC Administration.

“We urge all Nigerian farmers to take advantage of the seamless implementation and Administration of the National Agricultural Development Fund to continue the work towards the attainment of SDGs 1 and 2 (No poverty and Zero hunger respectively)!

“We also wish all Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2023 going forward.

“We look forward to a better Nigeria come 2023!”
