Nigerian gov urges women to grow vegetables to reduce imports
Akeredolu gave the advice in Akure on Thursday when he received members of FADAMA III Additional Financing project, led by Mr Tayo Adewumi, National Project Coordinator.
He said that initiating viable vegetable projects for women could be a channel for creating viable means of livelihoods for many families in the country.
The governor reiterated the determination of his administration to transform the state’s economy by exploiting the potential of agriculture in job and wealth creation.
Akeredolu also stressed that the importance of farming equipment such as tractors to commercial agriculture, particularly in the cultivation and harvesting of crops, could never be over-emphasised.
