Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has urged for increased support for women in agribusiness, emphasizing that providing women with mechanised farming tools can significantly enhance agricultural productivity, strengthen food security, and create economic opportunities across Nigeria. Speaking during the celebration of International Women's Day organized by the Women in Mechanised Agriculture Association, Sani highlighted the critical role women play in transforming Nigeria's agricultural landscape. He noted that this empowerment is crucial for adapting to modern farming technologies, which are essential for meeting the nation's growing food demands.

During the event, which was represented by his deputy, Hadiza Balarabe, Sani described the initiative as a part of a “quiet revolution” happening across various sectors of agriculture where women are increasingly taking active roles. He underscored that mechanisation not only applies to farming but is a broader trend that needs to be embraced to maintain competitiveness in the global agricultural market. This gathering is portrayed not merely as a celebration but as a stepping stone towards a more inclusive agricultural environment where the contributions of women are acknowledged and strengthened.

Furthermore, Governor Sani's remarks reflect a growing recognition of the need for gender equity in the agribusiness sector. By advocating for mechanisation and support for women's roles in agriculture, the government aims to address both economic empowerment and food security issues. This move could have far-reaching implications, creating a more resilient agricultural sector in Nigeria while promoting gender equality and the dignity of work in rural communities.
