Agric Ministry denies issuance of alleged loan agreement form 

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has denied issuing any “Loan Agreement Form” to access fund for Agri-business as being currently circulated.

The ministry’s Director of Information, Dr Joel Oruche, who refuted the claim in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, said “It is a scam and should be disregarded.”

Oruche said that in line with the policy of the ministry, any such programme would always be made public on national dailies, the ministry’s website and other social media platforms.

“The attention of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has been drawn to a LOAN AGREEMENT FORM allegedly from the ministry.

“This is to notify the general public that the ministry did not issue any loan agreement form to access fund for Agri- business as being currently circulated.

“It is a SCAM and should be disregarded,” Oruche said.
