Governors of N’East promise to promote small-scale irrigation

To combat climate change, the North East Governors Forum will promote small-scale irrigation farming.

Governor Babagana Zulum, the forum’s chairman, announced this at the ninth NEGF meeting in Yola on Saturday.

He said agriculture was the region’s mainstay and needed support.

Zulum said important stakeholders must be involved in an industrial development program to promote local resource development.

He thanked President Bola Tinubu for his efforts to bring peace and security to the area and nation.

In addition to poverty, unemployment, and defending lives and property, the region faces other difficulties too large to address alone.
