The organisation told President Bola Tinubu that although the move is a reflection of a strong commitment to addressing the growing insecurity that has plagued the agricultural sector especially in the Northern region caused by terrorism, banditry and farmers-herders conflicts, 10,000 Agro Rangers is insufficient to effectively cover and curtail the widespread insecurity affecting the food-producing belt across the country.
A statement by the chairman of NCYP, Isaac Abrak, said the vast expanse of the Northern belt requires a more substantial and sustained effort to ensure the safety of farmers and the security of their lands.
