In an initiative aimed at supporting farmers with effective pest control and optimal harvesting practices, the MOK Foundation for Community Development has commenced the distribution of essential agricultural chemicals and sprayers in 2025. This effort specifically targets farmers across various communities situated in Kwara South and Kwara North as they prepare for the impending farming season with the arrival of the rains.
Alhaji Tunde Salahudeen, the coordinator of the Agricultural Initiatives at the MOK Foundation, elaborated on the reasons for the delayed distribution, citing setbacks such as unpredictable weather patterns and the late onset of rain. “We have been diligently pursuing this initiative for nearly two years now,” he stated. “In the past, we have successfully reached numerous communities, but this current distribution represents a more extensive outreach to agrarian communities in both Kwara North and Kwara South.”
The distribution commenced today, starting with the Fulani communities residing in Offa, under the guidance of their leader, the Jowuro. Alhaji Tunde emphasized the importance of this collaboration, as it facilitates a more organized and effective distribution process.
A wide range of communities across these two senatorial districts is set to benefit from this significant agricultural empowerment initiative. In Kwara South, farmers in areas such as Agbeku, Ajase-Ipo, Omupo, Ipe, and Omuaran will receive the much-needed support. Likewise, in Kwara North, communities including Jebba, Lafiagi, and Patigi.
