Globacom, Lagos State Government Launch M-Agric to Empower Farmers, Tackle Food Insecurity

In a significant move towards enhancing food security in Nigeria, Globacom has teamed up with the Lagos State Government to introduce M-Agric, a groundbreaking agricultural support service. This initiative is designed to empower Nigerians by providing practical, step-by-step guidance on profitable farming in key areas such as livestock, aquaculture, and crop production, along with value-added services.

M-Agric, a service accessible through mobile devices, offers users a wealth of agricultural tips and advice tailored to help them maximize their farming potential and generate additional income. Subscribers can opt to receive these insightful messages daily, weekly, or monthly, ensuring they stay informed on the latest farming techniques and strategies.

Beyond just guidance, M-Agric also features an engaging lottery component, where subscribers can participate in trivia related to agriculture. Those who perform well in the quizzes stand a chance to win valuable rewards, including cash prizes, farm equipment, and even internship opportunities. The service is accessible at affordable subscription rates of N50, N200, and N500, depending on the chosen frequency.

To further encourage participation, Globacom is offering a 24-hour free trial of M-Agric to both new and existing prepaid and postpaid customers. Each week, a draw will be conducted, and subscribers who correctly answer the trivia questions will be entered into the lottery, where top scorers can win amazing rewards.

M-Agric’s partnership with the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture underscores a shared vision to motivate young, knowledgeable Nigerians to venture into farming, thereby bolstering the nation’s efforts to achieve food sufficiency and affordability. This initiative not only supports individual farmers but also contributes to the broader goal of ensuring that Nigeria can meet its food needs sustainably.

Prospective subscribers can join M-Agric by dialing 207912# on their mobile devices. With just three simple questions a day, participants have the opportunity to win instant airtime or cash prizes, making farming not just a livelihood but a rewarding pursuit.
