IN a bid to attain food security in Kogi State, Synergos Nigeria, with support from the State Partnership for Agriculture (SPA), has initiated a new Agriculture Investment Plan (AIP) for the state.
Head of Agriculture, Technoserve Nigeria, Dr. Abdulrahman Danbaba, disclosed this at a meeting themed “AIP and Cropping Calendar Review Meeting’’ in Lokoja.
During the conference, Danbaba said the plan was driven by the need to support and direct the state government in advancing investments in the agriculture sector.
According to him, “a state without a plan for agriculture is just like a ship and a captain without a compass. The plan is supposed to give direction.’’
Member of the National Agricultural Extension Research Services, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Prof. Paul Bolorunduro, in his remarks stated that the development was in line with the directive of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) which made it mandatory for African countries to develop their Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs).
Bolorunduro said this would guide investors to know the potential, the opportunities and picture of likely dividends of their investments.
He further advised the stakeholders at the meeting to co-opt the AIP document into the state Bureau for Public-Private Partnership (BPPP) platform to attract investors.
