Most displaced farmers in borno state return to farm afan

According to reports, many displaced farmers in Borno State, Nigeria, who were forced to flee their homes due to the Boko Haram insurgency, have begun to return to their farms in the Afan area.

The Afan area, which is located in the Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, was one of the worst-affected areas by the insurgency. Many farmers were forced to abandon their farms and flee to other parts of the state or neighboring countries due to the violence and insecurity.

However, with the improvement in security in the area, many of these displaced farmers have begun to return to their farms. According to a report by the International Crisis Group, over 10,000 farmers have returned to their farms in the Afan area since 2020.

The return of these farmers is seen as a positive development, as it will help to revitalize the agricultural sector in the state and improve food security. The farmers are also expected to contribute to the local economy and help to rebuild their communities.

The Nigerian government, as well as international organizations, have been working to support the return of these farmers and to provide them with the necessary assistance to rebuild their lives. This includes providing them with seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural inputs, as well as training and capacity-building programs.

Overall, the return of displaced farmers to their farms in the Afan area is a significant step towards rebuilding and recovering from the devastating effects of the Boko Haram insurgency in Borno State.
