As the Federal Government of Nigeria keeps on with the N-Power scheme, enumerators of the FMARD PACE Agricultural for Food and Jobs Plan (AFJP) will be paid N500 per survey.
Afriupdate reports that the Scheme made this known on the official Twitter handle of FMARD PACE on Thursday night.
FMARD PACE is the FG’s response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic aimed at increasing locally-grown food supply and job creation and N-Power volunteers are part of the enumerators.
Not long ago, this online news medium reported how FMARD is utilising N-Power beneficiaries to enumerate data, seed, and fertilisers to about two million farmers in Nigeria.

“Dear Enumerators,
We have good news for you all. You asked and we listened. So what are you waiting for? Start the survey today!”.

What’s AFJP?
AFJP is the FG’s response to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on locally grown food supply chain.
According to Nigerian authorities, “this response will ease the impending impact of the global food crisis on Nigeria, protect our most vulnerable citizens, and keep local food supply chains thriving.”
Officials added: “We aim to create jobs by employing Nigerians in the agribusiness clusters, out-grower schemes, and supporting value chain activities.
“With unemployment rates rising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, job creation in the agriculture supply chain will prevent disruptions in the economy and ensure a peaceful recovery for the nation.”
