Reports indicate that last year’s floods affected 16 local government areas, resulting in the deaths of 24 people, injuries to 163 others, and the displacement of 122,330 households. The disaster also destroyed 52,035 houses, collapsed 178 electric poles, washed away 11,183 livestock, and damaged key infrastructure, including 12 major roads and 60 culverts.
To mitigate these challenges, the Programme Manager of the Bauchi State Agricultural Development Programme (BSADP), Ya’u Muhammed, urged farmers to embrace dry season farming, emphasizing its resilience against natural disasters like flooding, drought, and pests.
He encouraged farmers to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge offered freely by BSADP to maximize the benefits of dry season farming. Muhammed reaffirmed BSADP’s commitment to supporting farmers through education, collaboration, and improved agricultural practices to enhance food security and economic well-being.
