Governor Buni says ''it was high time Yobe state began to take its rich agricultural potential to the next level''.
The Yobe agricultural summit is aimed at moving 70 per cent of the farming population from subsistence to commercial agricultural practice, Governor Marsala Buni has said.
“Since time immemorial, we have been doing the business of agriculture in the same old way and our farmers have not made the most out of it,” Mr Buni said. “This summit was ‘idealised’ to bring together experts to brainstorm on best approaches and practices that can help advance the business of agriculture in Yobe state,” he said.
The governor said there was never a better time than now for the state government to start thinking on how to harness its vast agricultural prospects.
