Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has said his administration's strategy is to bolster the state's contribution to the federation account through the development of agriculture and mining sectors. Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s political program, monitored by DAILY POST, Sule stated the state's commitment to diversifying its revenue sources beyond reliance on monthly allocations from the federation.
'Our plan is to employ some of our youths in the area of mechanized agriculture. 'We are going to buy more tractors than we need in that farm. We are already talking to some tractor suppliers, Mahindra and Co., and we are going to lease them to some of our farmers. So that our farmers can also do more,” Governor Sule added.
