The economies of our people will be better for it,” he said.

“The development has resulted in panic in the area and made some farmers abandon their farming activities.” The monarch advised governments at all levels “to focus attention on the development of cottage industries” and to splurge on agriculture, as a way of mitigating the economic hardship being experienced by the populace.Click on the link below to join TheCable Channel on WhatsApp for your Breaking News, Business Analysis, Politics, Fact Check, Sports and Entertainment News!
