Agriculture
By Shedrack Frank
Yenagoa, June 24, 2024 (NAN) Prof. Beke Sese, newly appointed Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources in Bayelsa, says the state government will provide the enabling environment for agriculture to thrive
Sese, a professor of Animal Science, made the statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yenagoa on Monday.
He said that the government would take advantage of the peaceful atmosphere across the state to implement policies that would trigger massive food production.
The commissioner said that farmers in the state had no reason to nurture fears over how to access their farmlands because the state was peaceful and secure.
“I am coming with a charge from the governor to make a difference. Our environment is suitable for many types of crops.
“We can massively produce rice, plantain, cassava and other crops from this state. The Bayelsa Palm must come back to life,” he said.
Sese urged Bayelsa people to continue to support the Gov. Duoye Diri-led government by making meaningful inputs that would enable it to implement people-oriented programmes.
“The governor has demonstrated uncommon commitment and wisdom in handling the affairs of the state, he needs the encouragement of the people to do more,” he said.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
