Description
The creation of twelve autonomous States in the Federation of Nigeria has raised enthusiasm in the minds of people—enthusiasm which negative actions could never have inspired. In this State we are indeed fortunate to have been blessed with natural resources, mainly agriculture, which is the mainstay of our economy. The farmers of this State have, for a very long time now, been instrumental in producing enough cash and food crops and, it is my belief that they are prepared to double their efforts in order to meet the challenge of time. This is of vital importance if we are to hold our own among our sister States.
