President Muhammadu Buhari |
Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, said yesterday said President Muhammadu Buhari will be in the state on November 17, to launch dry season farming.
He said the target of the state is to be able to produce at least 50-60 per cent of rice needed by Nigerians.
The governor, who spoke during a courtesy visit by Managing Director of Access Bank, said in the next three years, the state will also be able to produce 20 per cent of wheat needed by the country.
We have met with the millers who agreed to collect whatever is produced. They told us that last year, they imported about $4million worth of wheat, he said.
