The National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) has outlined projects valued at over N2.6 billion for execution across several states in its 2026 proposed budget.
The listed projects cut across key social and infrastructure sectors. They include the construction of a mini stadium, religious centres, classrooms, and health facilities. The proposal also makes provision for the installation of an MRI machine, reflecting a broader approach to community development.
According to the budget outline, the projects aim to complement agricultural interventions with social infrastructure that supports rural growth. NALDA plans to deploy these projects in strategic locations to improve living standards, strengthen local economies, and support human capital development.
The inclusion of education facilities highlights efforts to improve learning environments, especially in underserved areas. Similarly, the planned health facilities and MRI installation are expected to enhance access to quality healthcare services at the grassroots level.
Beyond agriculture, the proposed mini stadium underscores a focus on youth engagement and community cohesion. Recreational infrastructure, officials believe, can help promote social inclusion and encourage healthy lifestyles among young people.
Overall, the N2.6bn project list signals NALDA’s expanding mandate. The authority is positioning itself not only as a driver of land development and food production but also as a contributor to wider socio-economic development.
As the 2026 budget process continues, attention will turn to implementation timelines, project locations, and funding releases to ensure the proposed interventions deliver tangible benefits to communities nationwide.
