The Niger state government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Sun Farming, a German firm, to boost agriculture in the state.
Governor of the state, Umaru Mohammed Bago, disclosed that the agreement was centered on establishing a comprehensive farm estate in the state.
Under the arrangement, the investors are expected to construct the Comprehensive Farm Estate which will encompass several key areas.
According to Governor Bago, the Farm Estate will serve as an educational hub, offering training and resources related to agriculture and sustainable practices.
Furthermore, it will include a crossing center to assist newcomers and integrate them into the community.
The proposed Farm Estate will also focus on energy, likely incorporating renewable energy sources to power its operations sustainably.
He added that a substantial aspect of this initiative is food security, gearing toward producing and distributing food locally to ensure a stable food supply.
