1.1 Background of the Study
Agriculture is a cornerstone of Nigeria’s economy, particularly in rural areas like Ningi LGA, Bauchi State. Development journalism, which focuses on addressing societal challenges and empowering communities, can play a crucial role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Effective journalism not only enhances productivity but also ensures environmental sustainability by advocating for eco-friendly practices (Bello & Yusuf, 2023).
