In this post, i am discussing one of the sweet aspects of the plantain business which is about the availability of land for farming. If you want to do commercial plantain farming, land is available all over Nigeria.
Stop blaming the economy and the Federal Government for your joblessness if you are unemployed. Open your eyes wide, sit up and think straight. Nigeria is not a failed nation. The Lebanese, the Zimbabwean farmers and the Indians can see what the Nigerian can not see. It is a pity!
The lands are government agricultural lands managed by the River Basin Development Authorities (R.B.D.A) and there are many of them all over Nigeria in all the states of the Federation.
A tract of land measuring about 12 plots or the size of a football field can be leased from the authorities for about N2500.00 per year. You can set up with a plot as a starter.
To access the land, go to the office of the respective River Basin Authority and pick a form, pay the fees and within 48 hours, the land will be allocated to you as close as possible to where you want it. The payment is renewable for as long as you are using it,else it will be withdrawn and be reallocated to others.
The R.B.D.As have irrigation systems that supply water to the farms during the dry season. Also tractor services for plowing and cultivation are available at highly subsidized rates. Fertilizers and seedlings are also available at subsidized rates as well.
If you are one of those looking for salaried jobs in today's Nigeria, please stop that madness! Go pay N2500.00 for a hectare of land for plantain farming.
The Ogun-Osun River Basin Authority covers Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Oyo States. They have several offices in different states. Make enquiries there for how to lease land for farming.The land issue is sorted out and you have no excuse if that has been your problem.

ReplyDeleteVery helpful indeed... Thanks a whole lot, Mr Ayodele.
ReplyDeletehowever, how can I locate the RBDA's office in charge of Ekiti state, as I plan to go into Cocoa Farming, with Inter-cropping of Maize and Plantain.

I am interested in owning a farm, whether leased or outright purchase. But, what are the relevant documents needed to process the farm land in the RBDAs?
