The Enugu State chapter of All Farmers Association of
Nigeria, AFAN, says that plans are underway by the Enugu State Government to
provide farmers with farm inputs.
The State Chairman of AFAN, Alfred Eneh, told newswmen
in Enugu today that the government had promised to distribute the farm inputs
to farmers before the onset of the planting season.
He
expressed the hope that the 2017 planting season would be far better than the
2016 season because of the renewed interest of the state government in the
farmers’ needs, for them to have good harvests.
Eneh
said that although the association had yet to know the quantity of inputs and
funds which the government intended to provide, the details would surface later
when the actual distribution began.
He,
however, said that farmers had been waiting patiently for the government to
make available the farm inputs, particularly now when the rainy season is
fast-approaching.
