The senator representing Niger South, Senator Peter Ndalikali Jiya has distributed 100 water pumping machines to farmers’ groups in his constituency.

The senator who was represented at the event by Hon Timothy Jiya said the programme was initiated with a view to providing farmers with the tools needed to succeed in agricultural production.

In his remarks, chairman of the occasion, Hon. Ndako Kpaki charged the beneficiaries against the sale of the items, adding that the working tools are good for the growth of agribusiness and not for sale.
