In order to further the state's development, the Kebbi
State Government has announced that it will collaborate with Egyptian
professionals in agricultural and livestock raising.
When Egyptian agricultural specialists visited the
governor at Government House in Birnin Kebbi on Friday, governor Atiku Bagudu
made this statement.
In order to grow the state, he continued, his government
saw cooperation and partnership as key components.
The nation's second-highest producer of cattle, the state
is endowed with a wealth of agricultural potential.
Due to its strategic location sharing a border with both
the Republics of Niger and Benin, the state has also developed into the hub of
animal husbandry in West Africa.
The Governor stated, “We have already inked a tripartite
agreement with Maleville in the Republic of Benin and Kwanni in the Niger
Republic on the development of animal husbandry.”
Bagudu went on to say that the state's residents were
devoted workers who were eager to adopt contemporary approaches to raising
livestock and crops.
He also expressed his gratitude to Alhaji Aminu Goronyo,
National President of the Rice Farmers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN), for
arranging the visit and laying the foundation for future agricultural
collaboration.
Bola Tinubu, the incoming president, has vowed to build on
the successes in agricultural regeneration for food security started at the
federal level by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Additionally, the next governor of this state, Dr. Nasir
Idris, has reaffirmed his commitment to continuing the state-level agricultural
revolution that the outgoing government began.”
Beforehand, Walid Soliman-Morsy, the head of RIFAN,
notified the governor that the Egyptian specialists were in the state to
collaborate on agricultural growth.
He said that through educating farmers and using
cutting-edge agricultural techniques, technology, and knowledge, the experts
were prepared to develop many hectares of Fadama land in the state.
