Popular Nigerian artiste, Daniel Oyebanjo, also known as D’banj, has commended the Federal Government for its Agro-Rangers initiative undertaken by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC). Agro-Rangers programme inaugurated in mid-2016 is expected to forestall attacks on farms, boost farmers’ confidence to work on their farms without fear and to enhance FG’s food security plan. “I find this initiative undertaken by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps as a wonderful opportunity to serve my country. “Being a farmer of over 15 years, I understand the challenges suffered by farmers as incessant and re-occurring attacks stifle production and productivity,” D’banj said. Earlier, NSCDC boss Mohammadu said the Agro-Rangers initiative was part of President Muhammadu Buhari’s strategy to protect the lives and property of farmers, create jobs as well as guarantee food security in the country.
