Nigerian Army Commits To President Tinubu’s Food Security Policy
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, has reaffirmed the Nigerian Army’s (NA) commitment to implementing President Bola Tinubu’s policy on food security.
The COAS made this call at the opening of the Nigerian Army Farms and Ranches Limited (NAFARL) training workshop 2024, in Abuja on Tuesday, 22 October 2024. The workshop, themed “Attaining Peace through Food Security: Nigeria Army Farms and Ranches Limited Perspective,” aims to rekindle the NA’s efforts to provide viable and sustainable agricultural programs through effective farming and ranching.
Represented by Maj Gen Zakari Abubakar, Chief of Transformation and Innovation (COTI) emphasized the NA’s dedication to supporting Mr President’s food security initiative.
The COAS said the NA had made food security a priority following the president’s directive for the Armed Forces of Nigeria to use its available land for agricultural purposes. He commended NAFARL for its remarkable successes and achievements in its research and development efforts, especially in livestock breeding and refining.
