The Minister therefore appealed to the Development Partners to review their strategy and initiate a Programme to train more extension workers. This he said will help lift the Nigerian farmers from subsistence level to a mechanized level.

Nanono also said that the extension workers will help train peasant farmers in the proper use of fertilizer and other related agricultural inputs to boost food production.

The Development Partners in the likes of French Development Bank, World Bank, FAO, ADB, IFAD, Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation, Islamic Development Bank amongst others, led by Dr. Samba Kawa of USAID, assured the Minister of their unalloyed support to deliver Government strategic goals in agriculture. They promised to train more extension workers to support the 70 million farmers in order to enhance food production.
