Governor Kayode Fayemi disclosed this on Sunday at his Isan Ekiti country home.
He said it will also help in the reconstruction of farm settlements many of which were built in the fifties by the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo but were not put to good use. “One of my assistants is going to be focusing on agric and farmsteads because in the course of my campaigns, I went round those farmsteads.
“So we have another initiative that is being supported by the World Bank which is known as Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Programme .“This is meant to assist us to connect our rural communities to the urban centres and the market places in the hope that we can also reconstruct our farm settlements, provide the necessary amenities there and ensure that our people stay back in those places without missing the amenities they ought to have if they were to be in the cities,” he said.
