…To strengthen food security in rural areas, support accurate data in agricultural produce

​The Federal Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Morocco to deploy a satellite- and artificial intelligence-powered agricultural monitoring platform across 15 states. The initiative aims to address persistent agricultural information gaps.

​The project is designed to provide state and local governments with real-time data and intelligence on Nigeria’s agricultural land, crop distribution, production performance, and emerging food security risks.

​Building national capability

​The Presidency emphasised that Nigeria must not merely adopt emerging agricultural technologies but must also build internal capacity to improve and adapt them to national conditions.
