Fadama user groups
in Aragba-Orogun, Ughelli North local government area of Delta State,
have received farming tools worth N2.8 million.
The coordinator of
the Fadama III Project in the state, Anthony Abanum, told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Asaba that the items were given to the groups
to enhance their members’ productive capacity.
Mr. Abanum listed
the farm implements handed to the Fadama groups to include 88 bicycles,
cutlasses, knapsacks, sprayers, cans of herbicides, and files.
He named the
benefitting Fadama groups as Oyevwerhi Farmers, Efe Maize Farmers,
Mudiaga Cassava Farmers, Ufuoma Cassava Farmers, and Ese-Oghene Cassava
Processing Association.
The coordinator
added that the Akpoesiri and Ofuobi Fadama Community Associations also
benefited from the gesture which, he said, was part of measures to boost
agricultural production in the state.
