President Buhari to construct 400 dams to boost irrigation

   

Additional 400 dams to boost irrigation across the country will be constructed by the Buhari-led administration, before 2019.

    Revealing this to delegates from Africa and other continents at the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Food Crisis Prevention Network,      President Muhammadu Buhari, said that the country would start experiencing three harvesting seasons when more dams become operational in the next two years.

    He also said the government had started implementing measures to expand the production of grains and other agricultural produce.

The President added that it was high time African countries stopped the importation of harmful foods from other continents and urged African countries to change the method of cattle roaming in order to forestall conflicts between herdsmen and farmers.
