He explained further that while the crop farmers got fertilizers, agro-chemicals and seeds, the livestock farmers received goats.

“This is the major support we are giving to them and the essence of this is to assist these farmers to increase food production in the state and this is not the first time we are doing such in Ido local government,” he said.

Earlier, the chairman of Ido local government area, Sheriff Adeojo appreciated the state governor, Engr Seyi Makinde for the initiative which he said would greatly support farmers in the council to enhance agricultural activities in the area.
