Niger govt plans to construct $2m poultry farm in Bosso
Gov. Mohammed Umaru-Bago of Niger says that a two million dollars poultry farm will be constructed in Bosso Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Umaru-Bago said this on Friday in Maikunkele, the headquarters of the LGA during an engagement with the stakeholders in continuation of his state wide projects monitoring tour.
He said the construction of the poultry was in line with the livestock development initiative of the Federal Government, with Niger as a pilot state.
The governor, who enumerated the numerous road projects ongoing in the area, enjoined the people to continue to support his administration to ensure its success.
He urged those whose properties were affected in road constructions to show understanding and move away from the properties to speed up the projects.
He assured them that the would be fully compensated.
Umaru-Bago, who observed the increasing population in Bosso LGA, said a General Hospital will be built there to decongest the one in Minna and promised to fix electricity challenges in Kodo.
He applauded the senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Sen. Mohammed Musa, for his good work for the people of his constituency.
He said a mini stadium and a skills acquisition centre would be constructed by the senator in the LGA and that 20 people from the area would benefit from his scholarship in Singapore.
He also appreciated the member representing Bosso/Paikoro Federal Constituency, Baraje Kure, for his support to the developmental strides of his administration.
The Deputy Governor, Mr Yakubu Garba, called for the continuous support from the people of Bosso LGA and assured them of the commitment of the Bago-led administration in meeting their aspirations.
Musa commended the governor, emphasising that his administration had prioritised the welfare of the people of the area.
He said this was especially in its agricultural policy as it had been designated a Special Agro-industrial Processing Zone.
He said this would create direct and indirect jobs with positive implications for the wellbeing of the people of the area.
Similarly, Kure said he would support the government’s efforts with N1 billion, provide fertiliser and other farm inputs to farmers.
