The Enugu State Government has expressed its readiness to partner with the Harvesting Hope Caravan, HHC, a flagship programme under the Presidential Food Systems Coordinating Unit to ensure food security.
This is even as Governor Peter Mbahโs administration insured no fewer than 9,000 farmers against agricultural risk hazards, protecting their production and reinforcing their confidence in the agricultural sector.
Speaking during the flag-off of the initiative, the Coordinator of the Harvesting Hope Caravan, Mrs. Safiya Umar described the programme as a national grassroots platform for dialogue, engagement, and mobilisation that bridges the gap between government policy and the people.
She explained that the Caravan was designed to connect policymakers, farmers, agribusinesses, and communities through inclusive engagements rooted in local cultural norms.
On his part, the Deputy Governor of Enugu state, Ifeanyi Ossai, said the government has established the Enugu Agricultural Farmland Bank, which currently houses over 130,000 hectares of land to attract investment and support commercial farming.
