Farm Settlement Scheme in Nigeria

Farm scheme can
be seen as a method of advancing rural development in a rapid speed by the effort
of the government. Farm settlement scheme can also be described as an intervention
of the government to promote efficient utilization of land resources and
dignity in farming by the provision of basic social needs. In Nigeria, this
type of settlement scheme has been in operation since the 1950’s. Each of the
three Geo-political zones i.e. the Hausa’s, the Igbo’s and the Yoruba’s had its
own system of operation with respect to the prevailing religious and cultural
atmosphere of such a place. Improvement of farming methods by farmers for the
market as well as transforming subsistent agriculture into small scale
commercial farming were the driving force. In this project spatial arrangement
and rearrangement of farm plots or resettlement of population by the locals
together with government intervention, supervision and intensive agricultural
guidance through the appointment of extension agents and dispersal into such
regions make for effective campaign or project exercise.
