MEMBERS of the House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture, have promised to make a law to back up the Growth Enhancement Support, GES, to boost farmers’ access to quality inputs to improve food production and security.
Danagundi said: “We are very conscious of the importance attached to the seed subsector. We can assure you that Nigeria will continue to do her bidding as the biggest economy in Africa so that we can have better seed industry in terms of laws and other areas promoting the industry in our sub-region.“I understand that the market is so huge that we can harness and have regulations that will allow us to have free trade in the sub-region.
“At the National Assembly, we shall look at the option of the GES so that we can have laws with GES as a case study to tackle the issue of Agric inputs for our teeming farmers. Immediately we are in the 9th Assembly, we want everybody to help us with all necessary support in terms of having law backing GES, to serve our farmers.”
