grant farmers loan and financial enablement.
Galadima insisted that the
current Agricultural policies of the Buhari’s government is not being felt by
farmers in the country.
Speaking with The Sun, the APC
Chieftain said, “No, no, there are people from certain parts of the country
that can never get loan or assistance from the government.
“I have been looking for some
amount of money, I gave out my C of O, certificate of my farm and office that
amounts to over N500m, yet no bank was able to grant me N16m loan . I had to
sell my property to get some money.
“So what government is doing in
the area of farming is mere propaganda, I have not seen anything on ground.
“I wrote to the Minister of
Agriculture that I needed to buy certain farm equipment and agricultural
facilities, he is yet to reply my letter four months after.
“I had a late planting and I am
suffering that as the rain has suddenly seized. If this type of treatment is
being given to me, how about the man in the village who cannot reach the
minister of agriculture or anybody?”
