Hafizu

Hafizu returned to his village in Kaduna, Nigeria from the city some years ago after losing his job to begin maize farming. Like many other farmers in his community, the income he earns from cultivating is not sustainable enough to enhance the standard of living of his family.

Before joining Babban Gona, Hafizu's major challenge as a farmer was lack of access to quality inputs, very low income, lack of access to credit, lack of training and education, financing needs or low capital and poor farming practices and because of the training provided by Babban Gona, he was able to get the maximum output from his farm.

Also, there is currently an increase in the cost of fertilizers due to political tension, therefore Hafizu is requesting an increased loan to buy better-yielding seeds, fertilizers, and other important agricultural inputs that will improve his farming operations and boost his yield enabling him to generate earnings of up to twice the average Nigerian farmer's annual income. Hafizu plans on using the profit to invest back to his farm.
