7 OVER-VIEW O IRRIGTED GRICULTURE IN NIGERI: PROSPECTS ND CONSTRINTS BY SNI MIKO (Ph.D) PRESENTTION OUTLINE History of Irrigation in Nigeria Irrigation Potentials of Nigeria Present irrigation Situation Constraints in existing schemes Researchable reas Possible Collaborators/ Donors HISTORY O IRRIGTION DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERI Traditional irrigation throughout Nigeria used elemental irrigation systems long before the colonial period. These systems included seasonally inundated depressions in upland areas. In the north, shadoof irrigation was also used along rivers, and some farmers used surface wells HISTORY CONT. In 1949, the Northern Region established the first government irrigation agency By the end of the 1960s, government projects-- all relatively small--brought 9,000 hectares under irrigation. In 1975, the ederal Government established the Ministry of Water Resources. HISTORY CONT. In 1976, GN created 11 River Basin Development uthorities (RBD) with responsibilities for irrigation water supply and the comprehensive development of water resources. Major irrigation projects after the mid-1970s included the South Chad Irrigation Project in Borno State, he Bakolori Project in Sokoto State, the Kano River Project. In Kano State HISTORY CONT Three main categories of irrigation development exist in Nigeria today: - Public irrigation schemes, (formal irrigation); - armer-owned and operated irrigation schemes (informal irrigation) -Residual flood plains (fadama) The most important irrigated crops are rice, wheat, and vegetables. 1

8 Present Situation of Irrigated griculture The total estimated land used for irrigated farming was 218,840 ha under formal irrigation sector The sector accounts for 13% of the irrigated area and an estimated 0.25% of total agricultural area irrigated area is estimated at 95,000 M tons of grains and 105,000 M tons of vegetables, which represents 0.9% and 2.3% of the National Production IRRIGTION POTENTILS O NIGERI Nigeria has a total land area of km 2 and estimated 170m people Land cover ranges from thick mangrove, rain forests in the south to a near-desert condition in northeast. 39% of the land mass is potentially suitable for agriculture and out of this approximately 4.5 to 5.0%of (3.14 million hectares) the land is judged suitable for irrigated agriculture. Only 975,000 hectares are currently under surface irrigation. The country is well drained with a close network of rivers and streams. IRRIGTION POTENTILS O NIGERI Currently 13 RBDs with 62 irrigation schemes are ederally funded number of State governments and privately controlled schemes exist (northern parts) Nigeria s total annual renewable water resources are estimated at km 3 nnual internally produced water resources amount to 221 km 3, (214 km 3 surface water, 87 km 3 groundwater, and 80 km 3 an overlap between surface and groundwater). IRRIGTION POTENTILS Cont. External water resources coming from Niger, Cameroon and Benin are estimated at 65.2 km 3 /year. Exploitable surface water resources are estimated to be 80 percent of the natural flow, which is about 96 km 3 /year. nnual extractable groundwater resources are about km 3 Dam capacity is estimated to be 45.6 km 3.

11 Rationale for Irrigate frica The low coverage of irrigation technology and the slow rate of growth in coverage clearly represent a lost opportunity for frica and a tremendous potential for future investment and policy effort; frican countries produce 38 percent of their crops (by value) from approximately 7 percent of their cultivated land on which water is managed, which again suggests that additional investment in irrigation would pay large benefits; The disproportionate contribution to agricultural production of frica s small irrigated area suggests that returns on additional investment in irrigation would be high, in terms of greater food security Irrigate frica- a strategy for water The first of the four CDP pillars or thrusts is aimed at extending the area under sustainable land management and reliable water control systems. To assist governments to implement projects for the rehabilitation of existing and moribund irrigation schemes that have fallen into disuse To assist in identifying, planning, designing and constructing new irrigation schemes and associated water storage and conveyance infrastructure where opportunities exist; Irrigate frica To facilitate irrigation technology transfer to the smallholder producers, while concurrently improving yields, easing commodity marketing and improving the overall profitability of smallholder irrigation operations; help the countries identify policy and technical reforms that need to be undertaken to create a suitable environment for irrigation; and assist countries to mobilize additional national, private sector and external resources to fund irrigation projects. Key Observations Made Continued concern over food security in frica and a persistent agricultural productivity lag behind is a high agenda at the political level; Regions have refocused attention on the importance of key investments in the frican gricultural sector; Irrigation is the productivity improvement capital and technological investment that has been promoted persistently by donors, research analysts, and scientists, National Governments have responded well to increase the agriculture budget through the Maputo Declaration (2003) Challenges for Water Management Remain a Threat In the context of climate variability and change, ensuring a reliable supply of water to the root zone is critical for sustainable and productive agriculture in the continent. To date frica has developed far less irrigation than other regions, and irrigates only a tiny fraction of the potential irrigable area urther, many existing irrigation schemes, especially those in the smallholder sector, are performing at levels far below their potential. Research, science and technology CDP will build on existing investment plans, translating the plans into concrete action on the ground, mobilizing private sector engagement in irrigation across the value chain; 2

The core of the issue for optimal smallholder performance and development would appear to be a strong milling performance plus a supportive small grower infrastructure (seed cane supplies, extension services etc), along with predictable revenue structures. Issues for consideration on land administration Security of tenure legal provisions for land rights to protect the interests of the indigenous people that make land leases fully tradable and usable as collateral for credit and the capacity to register land transactions. These range from leasehold to freehold, to lease agreements and sharing agreements of various kinds. legal framework for the allocation of land to smallholders, including women, and to national or international investors, combined with clearly spelled out processes for community consultation, involvement, and/compensation certification of communal land rights, on either a group or individual basis, legal system that makes provision for financial and tax aspects such as repatriation of funds, tax rates, corporate tax implications that discourage acquisition of land for speculative purposes. dditional effort is clearly required to conceptualize expected favourable institutional changes and establish a region wide information base that could be used to populate a set of indicators, once defined 3

13 Conclusion CDP offers the opportunity to redefine the shape of governance needed in particular to institutionalize collective action directed at production consistency and quality maintenance amongst the investors and smallholders and to mobilize the community participation required for sustainable development prospects and the political will to guide griculture Investment and ccess to Land. Market Integration and Development dditional effort is clearly required to conceptualize expected favourable institutional changes and establish a region wide policies to support investment initiatives within the continent.
