The Senate has asked the Federal Government to introduce urgent measures to protect Nigerian farmers from the impact of falling agricultural produce prices and rising production costs.
This is part of resolutions during plenary following a motion sponsored by Senator Danjuma Goje, highlighting the growing challenges facing local farmers amid recent government policies aimed at reducing food prices nationwide.
He commended the federal government for easing the burden on consumers through waivers and special approvals for large-scale food imports, a move that has helped lower food prices and provided relief to many Nigerians.
