The NNFU Secretariat comprises of a Chief Executive Officer, three managers, officers, a receptionist and institutional workers. In May 2019, the four Regional Coordinators positions were abolished partly due to decline in funding and also to allow for the National Office to work directly with the Regional Farmers Unions as a way to build their capacity. Financial resources were availed to all Regional Farmers Unions to support good governance at regional structures level. The Secretariat was streamlined to facilitate better communication and coordination between the National Office and the farmers.
