Private investors are urged to invest in the agriculture sector in the FCT in order to increase food security in the region.

Senator John Akpanudoedhe, the minister of state for FCT, said government will introduce incentives to investors and create a favourable environment to encourage agricultural activities in the area. Up to now the private sector has not shown any major interest in the sector.

The FCT agricultural and rural development secretariat have already joined forces with a private company to develop 10 365 hectares of farmland in the Kwali Area Council for large scale agricultural activities.
