The member used the occasion to caution Youths not to allow themselves to be as agents of destruction, As we speak, we will debate this impending issues as your elected representatives and will forward your request to President Bola Ahmad Tinubu for quick action but Protest is never a solution.
Alot of people may think,these trailers of fertilizer been distributed today come from the Federal government, it is not. We procured it out of the urgent need to support our people to ensure bomper harvest as a remedy to poverty, hunger and unemployment.
As you can see , We have been allocated a trailer of Fertilizer by the Federal Government but ,it is yet to arrive. These two trailers cost us not less than fifty four million instead waiting for the arrival of the allocated Fertilizer which is yet to officially handed over to us.He thanked while soliciting for continuing support of the constituents in order to achieve greater heights.
