During the launch of the Al-Yuma Fertilizer and Chemical Company in Kwadon community, Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area of Gombe State, Governor Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya emphasized Nigeria’s potential to achieve food sufficiency.
He highlighted the vast arable land and large population as key factors that negate the need for food imports.
The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to driving the agricultural sector, aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
Governor Yahaya emphasized that food security is a primary focus of his government and that he is fully dedicated to developing the agricultural sector in the state.
He emphasized, “Since taking office in 2019, food security has been a major focus for us. We believe development hinges on it.
There’s no reason for Nigeria to rely on food imports when we have the resources to feed ourselves.”
He further emphasized the government’s role in providing an enabling environment for job creation, stating, “While job creation is primarily the responsibility of the private sector, government’s role is to provide an enabling environment.
We are therefore ready to support any entrepreneur who wants to establish a business in Gombe State.”
