Shuaibu's story

Shuaibu, 53, lives with his family in an ordinary mud house in a small village in Kaduna state. In his community, farming is the primary occupation, and, like many diligent smallholders, he dreams of expanding his farm business.

Due to a lack of access to quality inputs, it has become difficult for farmers like Shuaibu to achieve high yields to make a higher income. Luckily, as a Babban Gona member, this loan will allow him to acquire higher-yielding seeds that are locally adapted and are widely accepted in his local community. He will also have the recommended pesticides and fertilizers based on the results of his field assessment. This will enable him to optimize his yield thereby attaining yields of up to 2 times the national average in Nigeria.

With lenders’ support to grow his farming business, Shuaibu is looking forward to a bountiful harvest. He plans to use the profits from this season’s harvest to build a better house for his family, access better health facilities for his family, and open an agro dealer shop.
