Improvement in food security
They lauded Kyari's commitment to enhancing food security and nutrition by ensuring equitable distribution of agricultural resources.
Senator Kyari's leadership has been described as "patriotic" and "nationalistic," with the coalition noting that his efforts have eradicated marginalisation in allocating farming inputs.
"His exceptional leadership has made the issue of marginalisation in the distribution of food, fertilisers and other farming inputs a thing of the past," they added.
Access to government-distributed supplies
The coalition highlighted Kyari's impact on rural farmers, particularly women and youth, who have seen increased access to government-distributed supplies.
They urged beneficiaries to utilise the supplies effectively to support the government's agricultural initiatives.
The organisations called on Kyari to continue his visionary leadership, which they believe has significantly progressed the agricultural sector.
"We remain committed to working alongside the Minister to strengthen the agricultural sector and achieve a prosperous, food-secure, and environmentally sustainable Nigeria," the CBOs concluded.
