The federal ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has commended Bauchi State governor, Mohammed Abubakar, for giving agriculture, especially rice production, a massive boost in the state.
A letter of appreciation and commendation personally signed by the minister, Audu Ogbeh, described the development as part of the ‘agricultural revolution of the Buhari Administration’
The apparently excited minister stated in the letter “undeniably, we, in this ministry are very proud of Your Excellency for joining hands with us to move both the agricultural sector and our beloved nation forward. We celebrate Your Excellency and other members of your team in the state, for bring harbingers of change in the agricultural sector. This positive development is gladdening and motivating.”
The minister charged the governor not to relax on his oars but be inspired to do more in order to consolidate the revolution in the agricultural sector in the state describing a modernized agricultural sector as the key to the future well-being of the nation and not oil.
Mr Ogbeh finally assured Mr Abubakar of the ministry’s continued cooperation and partnership towards resolving the myriad of challenges in the agricultural sector for sustainable national development.
Mr Abubakar’s two year stewardship has seen a rebirth of the Agric sector in the state with the rejuvenation of the government owned fertilizer blending company supplying fertilizer to farmers beyond the state and other farming input. These have earned the governor accolades especially among farmers in the state.
