He said farmers across the region will soon commence all year round wheat cultivation which will make the country a wheat producing nation. 

"the highlands of Mambila and Gembu, the highlands of Obudu are for wheat cultivation with this new variety. So wheat will be all over Nigeria in addition to the nineteen northern states earlier mentioned" Hamza assured. 

Wing Commander Shuiabu Hamza pointed out that Lake Chad Research Institute presented them with seventeen different high yield varieties of wheat and promised to train farmers on how to cultivate the new variety.
