Senate President Godswill Akpabio has assured Nigerian farmers that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is dedicated to resolving the ongoing difficulties faced by the agricultural sector and the broader populace. This message was conveyed by Mrs. Unoma Akpabio during a recent event in Akwa Ibom State, where she was representing her husband.
At the event, which involved the distribution of fertilizers to female farmers, Mrs. Akpabio urged farmers to maintain their confidence in President Tinubu. She emphasized that the administration is committed to ensuring food security across the nation.
Mrs. Akpabio stated, “On behalf of the President of the Senate, I am here to kick off the fertilizer distribution initiative. This effort is aimed at enhancing agricultural yields and reinforcing food security. In this senatorial district, we are beginning with female farmers. Rest assured, additional fertilizers will be provided by the Ministry of Agriculture to support all farmers.”
She encouraged farmers to remain patient, emphasizing that President Tinubu is determined to improve the situation. “I urge our women and youth to stay hopeful and not be misled. We have a President who is experienced, visionary, and committed to making positive changes. The Renewed Hope Agenda is being implemented, and there are new opportunities, such as student loans for education and the recently passed minimum wage bill which benefits our civil servants.”
Mrs. Akpabio, who is also a farmer, expressed her optimism for the upcoming planting season and extended her best wishes to the farming community.
