Registered farmers in Niger to benefit from Asiwaju Agro Commodities Directorate

By Our Political Correspondent

Registered farmers on the platform of Asiwaju Agro Commodities Directorate of All Progressives Congress of the Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), have been assured of benefiting from the Tinubu/Shettima Agro Commodities Programme directly if elected.

The North Central Coordinator of the Asiwaju Farmers Forum, Hon. Sadiq A. B. Umar, gave the assurance while fielding questions from Journalists during the party's zonal mega rally for the Tinubu/Shettima and Bago/Yakubu held at Bida, the zonal headquarters of Niger South senatorial district otherwise known as Zone "A."

Former member who represented Bida South constituency (Bida 2), in the Niger State House of Assembly said "the impact of the Agro Commodities Programme of the Tinubu/Shettima presidency is to see that every Nigerian farmer Group, Cooperative, and Association will be a beneficiary of the agricultural transformation and revolution programme of the Tinubu/Shettima presidency."

Hon. Sadiq explained that the Agro Commodities Directorate was created to look at the achievements of the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and to build and improve on them, adding that the Directorate was trying to mobilize between 20 to 25 million farmers' votes as he declared that these farmers would benefit directly and indirectly more from the government of Sen. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu if elected as the next president of Nigeria.

The former lawmaker revealed further that the Directorate has registered virtually all the farmers in North Central, adding that no less than two hundred thousand of them are from Niger State, saying that they had their full details from the State to the unit which they would use to deal with these farmers directly after forming a government.

JUST IN: ASUU SUSPENDS 8-MONTHS-OLD STRIKE CONDITIONALLY

The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old industrial strike action.

The union decided to suspend the strike conditionally during a meeting of its leadership that started on Thursday night and lasted into the early hours of Friday 14th October, 2022.

GuGuwar Labari Media reports that the meeting was called by the union to determine its next line of action after its state branches met over the Court of Appeal ruling last week.

The Court of Appeal had ordered ASUU to suspend the strike before its appeal of the ruling ordering lecturers to resume work can be heard.

Members of the union’s National Executive Committee, which comprises the chairmen of the state chapters and members of the national executive, attended the meeting at the ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year.

Niger State ICT Hub.

Sooner than many might have envisaged possible, young software developers, coders, programmers, and sundry computer enthusiasts across Niger state will have a place to ply their talents, thanks to the newly constructed, tastefully furnished and finished Niger State Information and Communication Technology hub. This is a direct fruit of the efforts of Gov Abu Sani Bello.

A project which is donated to the state government solely by Zenith Bank Plc, has today passed as bold testimony that our stay in office as the Director-General (ICT) has not been a waste. How will we not show gratitude to the Almighty?

What is more! Successful completion of the project again motivated us to begin a process to make the ICT an autonomous agency in the state, a move which, thanks to staunch support of our state assembly members, has paid off, as Niger state will now have an agency mainly for IT activities.

The journey had started from a simple ideational suggestion to his Excellency, Gov Abu Sani Bello, which led to our constantly making trips to Zenith bank in consequence of the governor's approving directive that the state deserves an ICT hub, in consequence of which he personally parleyed and convinced zenith bank to construct same for the state.

I recall that upon his Excellency's directive that a suitable place be provided by the Ministry for Lands, the present permanent secretary of Ministry for lands, Dr Abdull Hussaini and I launched into a tireless and assiduous regime of work, which today became a clear success story, given prompt approval by then commissioner for Youth, Alh. Mamman Musa, that it should be situated in Abdullsalam Youth Center, Minna.

Let me extend my unreserved gratitude to his Excellency, Abu Lolo, for throwing his entire weight behind this project, a gesture which aided Zenith Bank's accepting to donate the centre to the state. My thankful gesture also goes to Zenith Bank for submitting to laudable call to make a worthwhile.
