The Enugu State Commissioner for Agriculture and Agro-industrialisation, Mr Patrick Ubru, says only registered farmers will procure subsidised farm inputs from the state government. Ubru disclosed this while speaking in Enugu.
He said the office was open for farmers in the state to register, especially as the state was
preparing for pre-farming training to launch the state into the new farming season.
According to him, the essence of the registration is to separate real farmers from
political farmers. The commissioner stressed that at the end of the training, inputs like seedlings, fertilizers, sprayers and others would be distributed to those who register.
“This is why we are doing validation of farmers after registration to ensure the farm they claimed to have actually belonged to, so that during distribution, we’ll go back to our database. “The registration narrows down our work and ensuring that we don’t deal with the political farmers,” he said.
