The Jigawa State Government has launched Phase III of the Jigagric Agricultural Loan Programme for civil servants, focusing on dry season farming. This phase is designed to support government workers who are interested in rice farming during the dry season while improving food production across the state.
The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to improving the welfare of civil servants and strengthening food security in Jigawa State. By promoting irrigation-based farming during the dry months, the programme aims to ensure continuous agricultural productivity and a more stable food supply for local communities throughout the year.
Under this phase, eligible civil servants will have access to agricultural loans to support their dry season farming activities. The loan programme is structured to make financing easier and more accessible for workers who wish to invest in farming. By reducing financial barriers, the government hopes to encourage more civil servants to participate in agriculture and increase overall food production in the state.
The programme also aims to create additional income opportunities for workers while contributing to the broader goal of economic development in Jigawa State. Through this effort, the government seeks to promote a culture of agricultural entrepreneurship among its workforce and strengthen the state’s agricultural sector.
All Jigawa State civil servants at both the state and local government levels are eligible to apply. The programme offers low-interest loans with flexible repayment plans deducted directly from salaries. Beneficiaries will also receive support for essential farming inputs and equipment to help improve productivity.
Applications are submitted online through a simple process where interested applicants fill out the form and provide the required documents.
