The Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it will develop innovative strategies to enhance agricultural efficiency and productivity in the Federal Capital, Abuja.
\nSecretary of the secretariat, Mr Lawal Geidam, stated this in Abuja, after receiving briefs from different departments in the secretariat on their operations, achievements, and challenges.
\nGeidam said the secretariat would educate and equip residents, particularly the youths, with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate agriculture as a viable business.
\n\u201cBy imparting this knowledge, we hope to empower individuals to engage in agriculture as entrepreneurs, fostering economic growth, and creating employment opportunities in the process\u201d, he said.
\nHe emphasised the importance of synergy among the various departments of the secretariat to achieve the desired results.
\nThe scribe explained that the briefs from the different departments had enabled him to have a comprehensive understanding of their roles and functions.
\nThis, he said, would ensure effective coordination and alignment with common goals in line with the agricultural development agenda of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
\nAccording to him, the activities of the departments are interconnected, and their collective efforts are crucial in enhancing food production.
\nGeidam added that the working synergy would also help in transforming the agricultural sector into a significant source of employment and wealth creation for the growing population.
\nThe Secretary noted that working in isolation would not lead to the desired outcomes,\u00a0 stressing the need for collaboration and cooperation among the departments.
\n\u201cThe activities of the departments are interwoven. All are geared towards not only boosting food production but making the sector a viable source of job and wealth creation for our teeming population.
\n\u201cWe cannot achieve this in isolation, all the departments must work in synergy to achieve this objective\u201d, he said.
\nWhile expressing satisfaction on the progress recorded by the various departments so far, Geidam assured that the challenges were surmountable.
\n\u201cAll we need from you as civil servants is sincerity and diligence in doing your jobs\u201d,\u00a0 he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
