 Deputy Senate President Launches ₦2.79bn Loan Scheme for North-West Farmers


The Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, has introduced a ₦2.79 billion loan initiative aimed at empowering farmers across the 186 Local Government Areas in the seven North-West states.


Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Barau—who represents Kano North Senatorial District—stated that the programme seeks to create 558 young farmer millionaires in the region.


Under the "Barau Initiative for Agricultural Revolution in the North-West (BIARN)", three farmers will be selected from each LGA across Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto, and Zamfara. Beneficiaries will receive an interest-free ₦5 million loan to invest in farming, with the initiative set to begin in April 2025.


Barau, represented by his Special Adviser on Policy and Monitoring, Prof. Bashir Fagge, emphasized that the scheme aims to restore the North-West’s agricultural prominence, ensuring food security and economic growth.


He noted that the Barau I Jibrin Foundation (BIJF) is partnering with a national financial institution to implement the programme, which will focus on maize and rice cultivation to boost food production and lower food prices.


Fagge added that the initiative is designed to empower youth with agricultural expertise, fostering long-term sustainability in the region’s farming sector.
