These initiatives are being implemented alongside Governor Umar Namadi’s agricultural mechanisation programme.
According to the statement, the Tinubu-Shettima campaign team is returning to Jigawa to appreciate residents for their support and confidence in the administration.
The statement added that while several development projects had commenced, more work remained to be done to improve opportunities for farmers, young people and businesses across the state.
