Zuma FM Radio through its annual Harvest Festival has launched an innovative healthcare insurance policy for rural farmers in Gurara, Suleja and Tafa local government areas of Niger State.

The introduction of the new Health initiative happened during the flag off of its annual planting season, as part of plans towards the 7th edition of the annual Zuma FM Agricultural Harvest Festival which holds at its Maje High point Radio House with over 500 farmers exhibiting yearly. The launch, which marks the first phase of the scheme, took place on Saturday August 12, 2023. There were 120 farmers present and successfully enrolled as the first batch to receive free health insurance benefits.

The Festival has through the years, built a robust network of farmers, helping to provide a market for their goods and introducing them to small business loans and technological tools to ease the rural farming processes. The health insurance scheme is another way to enhance the lives of the farmers on the network.
