“What is therefore needed is the political will and collaboration with like minds to move the state agricultural sector to the next level.

“Our team is currently talking with members of the business community to guarantee creation of jobs and employment of our youths once voted into power,” he stressed.

“Our administration, once voted into power, would have zero-tolerance for abandoned projects scattered across the state.

“We however assure you that our team would complete all projects abandoned by all the previous administrations, while all those embarked upon by us would be completed on schedule,” he stressed.
