Tony Nwoye Towers on Agriculture


Unlike most Ndi Anambra I was struck with no aghast when the president didn't mention Anambra as a major player in the agricultural revolution ongoing in Nigeria during his presidential speech on October 1st, as a little stakeholder in the sector, I knew enough to understand that Anambra isn't making much headway in Agriculture. 


I have searched through the Tony Nwoye manifesto and I'm certain that Tony's blueprint is what Anambra needs in Agriculture presently. For instance, Tony's manifesto promises to focus on the processing of agricultural produce as against exports championed by the incumbent, to do this, Tony has promised to create incentives in taxes, land procurement and coupled with his plan to build mini- power grid in three industrial zones to attract agro- processors.


The focus on processing will lead to increased productivity by the farmers as they're now guaranteed their products will be bought and the creation of more Jobs, thus, reducing unemployment. 


Tony's Agricultural blueprint will also see the rejuvenation of agricultural extension workers with offices at local government and large farming communities to help with timely information on disease control, seed selection, soil analysis and fertilizer/manure selection. This will directly increase agricultural productivity and ensure that farmers smile at the end of each farming season. 


The manifesto also sees hope for fishery and dry season farming as Tony has promised to work with the FG to fully, repair and activate the existing Dams in the state to enable access to irrigation for farmers to boost dry season farming and also increase fishing activities. 


Tony has also promised low interest, risk backed loans to graduates as an incentive to attract them to the agricultural sector. This initiative will also be extended to women- who are by far and large  the largest contributor to farming activities. Mechanized agriculture will also become a cardinal thrust of his educational policy as each local government will be equipped with agricultural mechanization workshop to enable easy access to machineries and implement for farmers. 


It's clear, Tony towers above all other candidates in agricultural blueprint and once elected will implement it and foster real agricultural productivity in the state.
