The Federal Government, in collaboration with the Sokoto State Government, has commenced the distribution of farm inputs and hand tools to women in the 23 local government areas of the state.
Inaugurating the distribution on Sunday in Sokoto, Hajiya Kulu Sifawa, the state Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, said the gesture was part of the federal government’s desire to engage Nigerian women in farming.
Sifawa said the essence of the project is to boost agricultural activities in an effort to enhance food security across the country.
“The gesture is part of the commitment of the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs in engaging women’s participation towards nation-building.
“As you are aware, women are the bedrock for every societal development, as such, the government came up with the programme to support the country’s commitment to food security.
