Background of the Study
Agriculture has always been a crucial sector for Nigeria’s economy, particularly in rural areas like Jega, Kebbi State, where farming is the primary means of livelihood. Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, during its tenure from 2015 to 2023, introduced several initiatives aimed at revitalizing Nigeria's agricultural sector. Known as the "Agricultural Revolution," these policies included the development of agricultural infrastructure, the promotion of mechanized farming, and programs like the Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP), which was designed to provide smallholder farmers with the necessary tools and financing to increase production.
Jega, located in Kebbi State, is one of the key agricultural hubs in northern Nigeria, predominantly known for rice and groundnut farming. The region stood to benefit greatly from these reforms, as they sought to address issues such as food insecurity, limited access to credit facilities, and the need for modern farming techniques. However, it is important to assess whether these policies had a meaningful impact on agricultural productivity, farmers’ livelihoods, and rural development in Jega. The study will examine the direct outcomes of Buhari’s agricultural revolution on local farmers and communities in Jega, focusing on both positive changes and ongoing challenges.
Statement of the Problem
While the agricultural policies of Muhammadu Buhari aimed at transforming the sector have shown promise in various parts of Nigeria, the actual impact on rural communities like Jega remains uncertain. Despite the availability of interventions such as the ABP, challenges like access to credit, poor infrastructure, and climate change continue to affect smallholder farmers. This study seeks to assess the actual outcomes of Buhari's agricultural policies in Jega, particularly regarding how they have impacted agricultural productivity, local economies, and farmers' well-being in the region.
