“We have also procured farm implements for full scale agricultural mechanization in line with our agenda to ensure food security in the state. 


“ Our youths are beginning to embrace agriculture as a credible source of wealth creation and our women in agriculture are already on the field because of their believe in our commitment to transform the agricultural sector in the state. 


“I call on wealthy Kogites at home and abroad to begin to explore the window of opportunities that abound in the agro industry.”

In his remarks, the state Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Honourable Timothy Ojoma noted that the commencement of the wet season farming across 79 farm clusters in  the state is a significant step in the agricultural transformation agenda  of the state by Governor Ododo.
