The Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it will develop innovative strategies to enhance agricultural efficiency and productivity in the federal capital, Abuja.

The Secretary of the secretariat, Mr Lawal Geidam, stated this in Abuja, after receiving briefs from different departments in the secretariat on their operations, achievements, and challenges.

Geidam said that the secretariat would educate and equip residents, particularly the youths, with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate agriculture as a viable business.

“By imparting this knowledge, we hope to empower individuals to engage in agriculture as entrepreneurs, fostering economic growth, and creating employment opportunities in the process,” he said.

He emphasised the importance of synergy among the various departments of the secretariat to achieve the desired results.

The scribe explained that the briefs from the different departments had enabled him to have a comprehensive understanding of their roles and functions.

This, he said, would ensure effective coordination and alignment with common goals in line with the agricultural development agenda of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.

According to him, the activities of the departments are interconnected, and their collective efforts are crucial in enhancing food production.

Geidam added that the working synergy would also help in transforming the agricultural sector into a significant source of employment and wealth creation for the growing population.

The secretary pointed out that working in isolation would not lead to the desired outcomes, and stressed the need for collaboration and cooperation among the departments.

While expressing satisfaction on the progress recorded by the various departments so far, Geidam assured that the challenges were surmountable.

“All we need from you as civil servants is sincerity and diligence in doing your jobs,” he said.
