In a renewed zeal to bring the prevailing hike in food prices under control and make food available in every household, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has announced the commencement of the distribution of seedlings and provision of incentives to farmers across the State.
Governor Eno announced this while addressing the congregation in the last day of the 3-days Statewide Crusade organised by Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and Fathers – In- Faith For Good Governance in collaboration with the State government, to thank God for the Supreme Court verdict validating the election of Governor Umo Eno as the duly elected governor of the State.
The State Governor maintained that Akwa Ibom being an agrarian State should not be caught up in the web of famine with its attendant effects on the citizenry.
