The Katsina State Community Development Programme (CDP) has empowered 118,200 residents through various agricultural initiatives since its establishment two months ago.
The CDP Coordinator, Dr. Kamaludeen Kabir announced this during the launch of the 40,000 Goat Rearing Initiative Programme at Dan-Kola Farm Centre, Daura.
He explained that the community-driven programme had also distributed 48,000 free bags of fertilizer across all the 361 wards of the state.
He reiterated that the CDP has also provided 4,000 power tillers and an equal number of solar-powered water pumps to irrigation and wet season farmers statewide.
Kabir said: “We have made significant strides in empowering our people, ensuring that our farmers have the resources they need to boost agricultural productivity.
“These pumps are already making a difference, as farmers can now irrigate their fields more efficiently, reducing the hardships they face and ensuring that crops thrive even in challenging conditions.”
