“The interest-free loans that we are starting next year in January will help empower our traders, enhance growth, development, stability, and improve the livelihoods of the people,” Governor Okpebholo stated.

Governor Okpebholo also outlined plans by his administration to revolutionize the agricultural sector through mechanized farming.

Governor Okpebholo said: “In January 2025, we are going to start massive mechanized farming in Edo State. We are poised to ensure that food is available to all, even in these challenging times.

“Agriculture is vital to our State’s economy. Investing in mechanised farming will boost food production, create jobs, and ensure food security for our people.”

Responding, President of the Association, Mrs. Josephine Ebhaguejeze expressed gratitude for the Governor’s initiative, noting that it will be a game-changer for traders and farmers in the State and pledged the Association’s support and loyalty to the administration.

 

She said the Association will continue to work with the Government of Senator Monday Okpebholo in driving economic reforms in the State.

 

“With this initiative, Edo State is on track to becoming a model for economic revitalisation in Nigeria, paving the way for a prosperous future for all its residents. As the new programmes take shape, the State looks forward to reaping the benefits of enhanced productivity and financial independence for its traders and farmers alike.”

 

The mechanised farming initiative is expected to attract investments and partnerships with agricultural companies, as it would further enhance the State’s capacity for large-scale farming and repositioning the economy.
