The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC), Hon. Yazeed Shehu Danfulani, has reaffirmed the corporation’s commitment to forging strategic partnerships aimed at enhancing productivity and safeguarding investments across Nigeria’s agricultural value chain.
Danfulani gave the assurance on Thursday when he received members of the Project Office for Agri-Business and Productivity Enhancement from the Office of the Vice President at NAIC’s headquarters in Abuja.
The visit, according to him, was designed to explore potential areas of collaboration and integrate agricultural insurance into special intervention programmes across the country.
“As a key player in the nation’s agricultural sector, NAIC recognises the critical role that collaborative efforts play in driving innovation, improving resilience, and ensuring sustainable growth,” he said.
He explained that by strengthening alliances with both public and private stakeholders, the corporation continues to provide tailored insurance solutions that protect farmers, agribusinesses, and investors from risks inherent in agricultural production.
Danfulani noted that the renewed commitment underscores NAIC’s dedication to supporting the Federal Government’s agenda on food security, economic diversification, and rural development.
“Through these partnerships, NAIC aims to foster a more robust and secure agricultural ecosystem that empowers farmers and enhances national prosperity,” he added.
During the meeting, both parties exchanged ideas on strengthening risk management mechanisms to better support farmers and agribusinesses nationwide.
The visiting delegation expressed confidence in NAIC’s capacity to deliver on its mandate and pledged to work closely with the corporation in promoting food security and sustainable agricultural growth.
