It also aims to promote human resource development, career progression, and professionalism in agricultural extension and encourage women and youth to actively participate and invest in agriculture.

Mustapha said although the bill was still in progress, the legislation on the bill would improve the lives of farmers, especially in the rural areas.

“With the advancement in technology and global development of agricultural extension service around the world, it is my expectation that the draft bill should as much as practicable incorporate digital agriculture essential service as it is done in other countries.

“There is need to expand the scope of the technical committee by enriching the draft bill with other jurisdictions in order to have the wider application and stand the test of time,” he said.

Mustapha said that he would discuss with his colleagues in the National Assembly to give the bill the needed attention and a wider scope.

“We’re also looking at opportunities because the most important thing is adding value and making sure it is practicable and works.

“So, the most important thing is the value addition to make sure because for me we should start thinking of how agriculture should be a means of livelihood.

“With the insecurity we have in the country today, if agriculture is working the way it ought to, it will have reduced the problem by 70 to 80 per cent of it,” Mustapha said
