Small Scale Farmers have identified food Security and Agriculture as major negotiations’ instrument as the general election draws near.
Small Scale Farmers at a forum with political office seekers in Lagos, say they make up the greater number of workforce population and produce about eighty per cent of the food consumed in Nigeria.
They say their constituency has been neglected and excluded by successive administrations; adding that any nation that desires to attain food sufficiency must make sincere and long term investments in Agriculture.
While political office seekers admit that this group of people have not received adequate support from government over the years, they promised an improved budget for the agricultural sector if elected.
