Tukur

Tukur 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, Tukur's major challenge as a farmer was lack of access to quality inputs and poor farming practices. Because of the training provided by Babban Gona, he was able to get the maximum output from his farm.

There is currently an increase in the cost of fertilizers due to political tension; therefore, Tukur 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. Tukur plans on using the profit to pay his children's school fees, buy books and uniforms for his children, and build a better house for his family.
