Gov. Muhammadu Jibrillah confirmed the development during the presentation of certificates to the beneficiary farmers in Yola.

Jibrillah said that the development was part of his campaign promises to support vulnerable farmers and ensure food sufficiency in the state.

“Each trainee will receive N30, 000 to complement the farmers to start their businesses,’’ Jibrillah said.
The state Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr Waziri Ahmadu, said the beneficiaries were trained in various fields of dry season farming.
