Nigeria has requested technical and financial assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to revitalize the Lake Chad Basin, focusing on boosting agribusiness, livelihoods, and food security.
During a bilateral meeting, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Abubakar Kyari called for stronger collaboration with FAO to expand irrigation, enhance water management, and build resilience for smallholder farmers to support year-round farming.
He also emphasized advancing mechanization to improve efficiency, productivity, and value in rural agriculture.
Kyari appealed for more employment opportunities for qualified Nigerians at FAO’s global offices, highlighting Nigeria’s commitment to agricultural transformation.
FAO Director-General Dr. Qu Dongyu reaffirmed the organization’s support for Nigeria’s agricultural priorities, pledging to advance shared goals of food security, climate resilience, and rural prosperity.
