The Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat, Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), has concluded plans to assess abattoirs, veterinary clinics and farm infrastructure across the territory.
The Mandate Secretary, Mr Abdullahi Ango, disclosed this in Abuja after a week-long meeting with directors, heads of projects and specialised units.
Ango also said the facility tours across the area councils would provide the needed platform to engage with farmers, stakeholders and development partners.
That, he said, will help fast-track the implementation of agricultural programmes in the FCT.
Ango, who was deployed from the Youth Development Secretariat, also said efforts were ongoing to ensure that farmers received seeds, fertilisers and equipment before the rainy season. (NAN)
He also emphasised the need to equip agricultural extension agents with tools and training, as well as boost public-private partnerships to attract agribusiness investments in the FCT. (NAN)
