Zuma Agric Radio has officially launched the 2026 planting season at the Zuma FM premises in Suleja, Niger State, as part of its ongoing efforts to educate farmers on best agricultural practices.
Event Highlights
The flag-off ceremony brought together farmers, agricultural stakeholders, community leaders, and development partners for a farmer day engagement that included practical training sessions and the distribution of essential farm inputs.
Key activities featured farmer sensitization programs, agricultural extension guidance, and interactive discussions aimed at improving productivity and strengthening food security at the grassroots level.
Founder's Remarks
Shuaibu Kere Ahmed, Founder of Zuma Agric Radio and Convener of the Zuma Agricultural Harvest Festival, emphasized that the initiative reflects the platform's unwavering commitment to supporting farmers beyond mere advocacy.
"Agriculture remains central to community development and food security. Through Zuma Agric Radio, we are creating a practical platform that supports farmers with information, engagement, and access to essential agricultural support," Ahmed stated.
He noted that the planting season flag-off marks the beginning of a broader agricultural campaign leading to the historic 10th consecutive Zuma Agricultural Harvest Festival scheduled later this year.
