Kano distributes water pumps to farmers to boost irrigation
The commissioner for local government, Murtala Sule-Garo says the Kano State government has distributed 5,000 water pumps to farmers to boost irrigation farming and achieve food security in the state.
Mr. Sule-Garo, who spoke to reporters on Wednesday in Kano, said the water pumps were distributed to beneficiaries during the preceding dry season activities.
He said the state government also distributed motorcycles and utility vehicles to extension workers to enhance farmer support services in the 44 local government areas.
The commissioner said the state in collaboration with the federal government had also distributed fertiliser, seeds, chemicals and other inputs to the farmers, to encourage crop production for self-sufficiency.
Mr. Sule-Garo said this was to encourage agricultural activities, provide livelihoods and enhance wealth creation in the society.
He urged residents to support government policies and programmes for sustainable social and economic development of the state.
