Gov. Mohammed Umaru-Bago of Niger state has expressed readiness towards the construction of a 2 million dollars poultry farm in Bosso Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Mr Umaru-Bago said this on Friday in Maikunkele, the headquarters of the LGA, during an engagement with the stakeholders in continuation of his statewide 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 deputy governor, 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.
Mr 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, Mr Kure said he would support the government’s efforts with N1 billion, providing fertiliser and other farm inputs to farmers.
