Niger State’s Triple Threat: Government, Teachers, and Niger Foods Unite for Sustainable Agriculture

In a significant development, the Niger State Government, the Niger State Universal Basic Education Board (NSUBEB), and the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Niger State Chapter signed a tripartite agreement with Niger Foods to promote food production in the state.
The agreement, focused on crop production, entails Niger Foods supplying farm inputs and other implements to teachers interested in agricultural activities. This landmark agreement significantly represents a vital step in the state’s efforts to address food insecurity and promote sustainable agriculture.
With teachers at the forefront of this initiative, the tripartite agreement also highlights the potential for educators to engage in agricultural activities as a supplementary income stream, while also serving as role models for students interested in pursuing careers in agriculture.
Governor Abubakar Sani Bello commended the teachers for this strategic partnership and assured them of ongoing support.

Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to serving the people of Niger State. In line with his vision to eradicate hunger and malnutrition, he recently announced the distribution of 50,000 metric tons of food at a generous 50% discount to be sold across all 25 local government areas.
This generous initiative reflects the Governor’s dedication to ensuring that all Nigerlites have access to affordable, nutritious food. By making these food items available at a discounted price, he aims to improve the economic well-being of the residents and enhance their overall quality of life.
