DUTSE, Nigeria, June 29, 2026 - The Jigawa State Government has activated the most ambitious agricultural capitalization and input distribution framework in the territory's history following an executive launch by Governor Malam Umar Namadi. Staged at the Dutse Township Stadium under the 2026 Wet Season Agricultural Support Program, the mega intervention deploys extensive climate-smart tech assets state-wide.
The massive mechanization layout unbundles six thousand solar-powered irrigation pumps to eliminate dry-season fuel vulnerabilities, paired with bulk fertilizer allocations targeting ninety thousand verified smallholders. To expand technical monitoring, the administration distributed 1,185 new operational motorcycles to J-AGRO extension agents, expanding advisory connectivity across remote agrarian borders.
Agricultural Transformation Agency Director-General Dr. Saifullahi Umar confirmed that all inputs are routed strictly through the state's newly established biometric Farmer Registry to eliminate middleman racketeering via secure automated SMS notifications. Backed by credit lines from the Bank of Agriculture and StarAgri, the campaign accelerates the setup of two hundred synchronized rice-processing clusters.
