‘As I mentioned months back when we distributed fertilizer to farmers in the constituency, regardless of party affiliation, that more were still coming, the opportunity has beckoned again, and we have distributed them to farmers in the hinterland to support them in crop production and ease food shortage in our state.
“As a legislator, we cannot deny the reality of food shortage, which has led to food inflation in the country. This is why I encourage farming empowerment in my constituency. Our farmers will soon hit the state with their tomato production in days to come”. Ojuawo Assured.
