The governor described the gesture as another practical demonstration of his administration’s commitment to food security, poverty reduction, and economic growth.

Represented by the senior adviser and counselor, Alh Saadu Salahu, the governor said, “Our administration has consistently prioritised agriculture, not just as a sector but as a tool to empower our people, strengthen rural livelihoods, and create sustainable jobs. “ The governor said this in Ilorin at a symbolic distribution of the agricultural items.

“What we are flagging off today is another wave of this assistance. More distributions will follow in organised batches, reaching deeper into our communities and reinforcing our shared productivity.”
