Bauchi Govt Signs Financial Agreement on Value Chain Programme

The Deputy Governor of Bauchi State, Rt. Hon. Mohammed Auwal Jatau, Wednesday on behalf of Governor Bala Mohammed signed a financial agreement for the implementation of  Value Chain Programme in the state. 

The $158 million Value Chain project designed to be implemented in the states of Bauchi, Borno, Yobe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi was co-funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the French Development Agency (AFD) and the Federal Government. 

At the signing ceremony held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Auwal Jatau reaffirmed Bauchi’s commitment to the successful implementation of the programme, a transformative initiative aimed at bolstering agricultural productivity and economic resilience across the benefiting states.

He noted that, the Value Chain Programme is a strategic partnership that aligns with the vision of Governor Bala Mohammed's administration of harnessing Bauchi State’s vast agricultural potential to drive industrial growth, create employment opportunities, and enhance the livelihoods of the citizens.

"This momentous occasion marks a significant stride in our collective journey towards achieving sustainable development, food security, and economic empowerment for our people. Under the leadership of our amiable Governor, the Bauchi State Government has developed a comprehensive agricultural development plan that leverages our land assets to unlock the state’s industrial potential.

"In this regard, Bauchi State has achieved certification as a food export processing zone, underscoring our commitment to enhancing agricultural productivity and positioning ourselves as a key player in the regional and global agricultural markets."

The Bauchi Deputy Governor assured that the government of Bauchi State is fully committed to providing the necessary conducive environment for the implementation of the new Value Chain Programme and will continue to prioritize policies and initiatives that support agricultural development, ease of doing business, and private sector investment.

"Our administration has demonstrated strong commitment and willingness by participating in the World Bank’s first performance-for-result programme known as the State Action on Business Enabling Reforms (SABRE), and we will build upon this foundation to ensure the effective implementation of this programme."

Auwal Jatau therefore appreciated all the partners, stakeholders, and development agencies for their unwavering support and collaboration to Bauchi state, paving the way for a prosperous and sustainable future.
