FG begins training of 4,000 tractor operators for mechanisation drive

The Nigerian Federal Government has launched a training program for 4,000 tractor operators as part of its national agricultural mechanization initiative. This effort aims to enhance food security and develop a skilled workforce to support large-scale modern farming. The program, coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security through the National Agricultural Development Fund, involves partnerships with AGCOMS International Trading Limited and the Industrial Training Fund. The first batch of 250 trainees started a two-week residential training session at CSS Farms in Nasarawa State. The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, focusing on transforming agriculture, creating jobs for young Nigerians, and boosting economic growth through mechanized farming. The program emphasizes matching investments in agricultural equipment with investments in human capital to achieve sustainable food security.
