@HonBago
’s passion to develop Niger State is evident for everyone to see.
Someone said, ‘Ko shaitan ne kai, dolle ka yarda Bago na aiki.’
When these gigantic projects are complete, whoever takes over from Bago will just enjoy a free ride.
May Allaah guide him to complete them all.

CROP CULTIVATION CALENDAR FOR FARMERS
Crop Cultivation Calendar in Nigeria (Without Irrigation)
Important considerations:
- Regional variations: Planting times can differ slightly between northern and southern Nigeria due to variations in climate.
- Soil conditions: The type of soil can influence planting times. For example, sandy soils may require earlier planting to ensure adequate moisture.
- Variety selection: The specific variety of a crop can also affect planting times. Some varieties may be more tolerant of drought or heat.
NOTE: While these are general guidelines, it...

7 AGRICULTURAL LAWS TO KNOW!👇😍
1. Never target high seasons; high seasons come with their own challenges. Be a farmer, not a gambler.
2. Choose at least two main crops and a crop rotation plan. Switching from one crop to another is not directly in your pocket.
3. Plan your farm and always have crops at different stages of age to ensure a constant supply.
4. No crop is more profitable in itself; just master the advantages and disadvantages of each particular crop.
5. Having a big farm is not a guarantee for successful farming.
6. Have a spraying and fertilizing plan and stick to it.

Some tips on Capsicum Farming
Climate: Capsicums thrive in warm climates with temperatures between 15-30°C. They require plenty of sunlight and are sensitive to frost.
Soil: They prefer well-drained, fertile soils with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding organic matter can enhance soil quality.
Planting: Capsicums can be started in a nursery and transplanted when they are about 6-8 weeks old, after the risk of frost has passed. Space plants 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) apart. The seed rate is 100g per acre.
Watering: Capsicums need consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Drip irrigati...

Today in Ogun State, we harvested the rice we planted in May 2024. By August 2024, we realised 7 MT/hct from a pilot of 200 hectares, using outgrowers who were each given 1 hectare.
The total harvest amounted to approximately 1,400 MT, which translates to about 20,000 bags of milled rice, valued at One billion Naira in revenue every three months.
These farmers, mostly youth and women who had never farmed before, are now part of a transformative project. We will now upscale to 2,000–5,000 hectares, aiming for approximately 10–25 billion Naira per quarter.

Cassava farming tips
To enhance and increase stakes production, it is recommended to use short cassava cuttings of two nodes instead of the current longer cuttings with more than seven nodes, used by farmers, which lead to wastage.
These two-node cuttings can be pre-sprouted in an appropriate medium before planting on the field to ensure a good stand and uniformity in the establishment of the cassava at the field.
To prevent land conflicts and struggles for cassava production, practice intercropping with other food crops rather than mono cropping of cassava.
Splitting of land and rotatin...

PEPPER FARMING GUIDE
1. Soil Preparation
Soil Testing: Conduct soil tests to determine nutrient levels and pH. Peppers thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8.
Organic Matter: Incorporate plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and structure.
Tillage: Prepare the soil by tilling to a depth of 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) to ensure a loose, well-drained seedbed.
2. Seed Selection
Variety: Choose high-yielding, disease-resistant pepper varieties suitable for your region's climate and soil conditions.
