The farmers thanked the governor for his support through the farming season.
The state is now one of the major players in the Nigerian rice market. This will strengthen the production of rice in Nigeria.
This is coming after Anambra rice and Lake rice in Lagos. More of this and in no time, Nigeria will stop importing rice.
