The symposium will bring together notable voices from the media, academia, and the agricultural sector to reflect on how Nigerian farmers who form the backbone of the country’s food supply are represented in mainstream media.
It will be chaired by Professor Musa Tukur Yakasai, Vice Chancellor of Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil, and will feature speakers including Dr. Gambo S. Nababa of Bayero University Kano, Dr. Isah Nasidi of Baze University Abuja, Malam Ibrahim Musa Gingiyu of Daily Trust, and Maryam Mohammed of Maryam Abacha American University, Kano.
The launch of the print edition marks a significant step forward for Farmers Voice NG, building on its digital achievements and reinforcing its commitment to telling the stories of smallholder farmers, agripreneurs, rural women, herders, and farm workers across Nigeria.
Members of the media, civil society groups, farmer associations, students, policymakers, and the general public are invited to attend and support this important national conversation.
