At the 2025 Annual Results Review of the International Fund for Agricultural Development–FGN Country Strategic Opportunities Programme (COSOP 2024–2029), the Agribusiness and Productivity Enhancement Project Management Office engaged with federal and state stakeholders to review progress, assess delivery risks, and identify priority actions for accelerating Nigeria’s agrifood transformation agenda.
The PMO was represented by Abubakar Shinkafi (Partnerships and Communications) and Tahir Dalorima (Agronomy), who contributed to technical sessions and strategic dialogues. With agriculture accounting for a significant share of employment and rural livelihoods, performance in the sector remains central to national stability, food security, and inclusive growth.
The review highlighted strong delivery results, including over-target performance in market, processing, and storage infrastructure, alongside steady progress in producer organization strengthening, rural finance, and enterprise development. At the same time, the need to speed up climate-resilient practices, water infrastructure, and production technology training was clear.
The PMO also held constructive discussions with the IFAD Country Director on strengthening collaboration and support for coordination. We commend IFAD’s sustained investment in rural development and remain committed to partnership-driven delivery that translates programmes into lasting impact across Nigeria’s priority value chains.
