“In our State, we are already looking at the direction of helping our farmers in various ways, first to ensure that are protected from marauders and that is why the security architecture of this State is being given strong priority. Our rural roads to our farm settlements are also getting attention so that our farmers can get to the farms and also transport their farm produce to the urban centers.
“Our primary and secondary schools, we have just approved the recruitment of teachers and soon the advertisement would be out, those trained teachers should apply.
“We are not owing Civil Servants in the State and we are also giving them wage award 35,000 naira every month aside their salaries.
“So this government is doing a lot to support our people and as we progress more of these programmes and policies would be rolled out for better living conditions for our people.”
