APPLY NOW: Tinubu Govt Opens Applications For Nationwide Agric Scheme [See Details]
BY: Fabian Apechihin
The Federal Government has officially opened applications for the **Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanisation Programme (RHAMP)** — a nationwide initiative designed to revolutionise Nigeria’s agricultural sector through large-scale mechanisation and the empowerment of young and female agripreneurs.
The programme, managed by the **Bank of Agriculture (BOA)** in partnership with **Heifer Nigeria**, is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s broader plan to modernise farming, boost productivity, and reduce dependence on manual labour in the agricultural value chain.
The Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, **Dada Olusegun**, announced on Thursday, November 6, 2025, that the application process is **free of charge** and currently ongoing. Interested Nigerians are encouraged to apply via the official portal — [https://boanig.com](https://boanig.com) — before the **deadline of November 10, 2025**.
### Key Features of RHAMP
The RHAMP initiative aims to create a new generation of **mechanisation service providers** across Nigeria, with a focus on **women and youth** who often face barriers in accessing capital for tractors and heavy machinery. Existing mechanisation firms seeking to expand their fleets are also eligible to apply.
The programme offers affordable access to **tractors and modern implements** through a structured **leasing arrangement**, complete with a **three-year servicing plan** at certified workshops or mobile maintenance hubs.
Repayment is designed to be flexible — tied to actual usage and earnings — allowing beneficiaries to gradually offset costs as their businesses grow.
To ensure accountability, the scheme incorporates **digital monitoring via IoT technology** to track equipment usage and maintenance schedules in real time.
### Government Reaffirms Commitment to Modernising Agriculture
Officials say RHAMP marks a major step toward **modernising Nigeria’s food system**, strengthening **rural livelihoods**, and improving **farm productivity** nationwide. It also aligns with President Tinubu’s ongoing efforts to enhance **food security** and lower production costs for small and medium-scale farmers.
The initiative builds on the first phase of RHAMP, launched in June 2025, which distributed **2,000 modern tractors**, **50 industrial-grade bulldozers**, **12 mobile workshops**, and **over 8,000 specialised farming implements** across several states.
At the launch, President Tinubu described RHAMP as a **“bold step toward a sustainable agricultural future”**, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to achieving food sufficiency and economic diversification through agriculture.
He noted, “Today, we take a monumental leap forward with the introduction of state-of-the-art tractors through our new agricultural mechanisation programme. We are very proud of what we are doing.”
The Federal Government is now calling on **women, youths, and mechanisation companies** to seize this opportunity. The Bank of Agriculture emphasised that RHAMP is not just about providing tractors but about **building a network of trained, equipped, and financially supported service providers** capable of unlocking Nigeria’s full agricultural potential.
Officials expressed confidence that the programme will **enhance food security, create jobs**, and support the administration’s **Renewed Hope Agenda** for national development.
