Speaking to the press, the governor said the SC administration is working to make agriculture a productive, technology‑driven, and commercially viable industry that can improve livelihoods and create new opportunities for the people of Jigawa.
“The SC administration is laying strong and sustainable foundations for the transformation of agriculture into a productive, technology-driven, and commercially viable sector capable of improving livelihoods and creating opportunities for the people,” Namadi said.
The statement highlights the state’s commitment to modernising farming practices and boosting market access for farmers. By investing in technology and infrastructure, the government aims to increase productivity and ensure that agricultural gains translate into tangible benefits for local communities.
