The Federal Government has commenced training for 4,000 tractor operators as part of its nationwide agricultural mechanisation project, with private-sector technical partner AGCOMS International Trading Limited playing a key role.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, described the initiative as a tangible manifestation of the government’s dedication to food security.
He emphasised that the training programme directly reflects the Federal Government’s resolve to empower Nigerian farmers to take control of the nation’s food security.
Tractor safety, machine operations, hydraulics, field applications, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and equipment management are all covered in the comprehensive curriculum, which was created in collaboration between AGCOMS, NADF, and ITF.
The training programme demonstrates how strategic collaboration between government and the private sector can accelerate the delivery of national priorities.
