Stressing that each ward would receive 25 bags of rice, Mr. Olabode assured that the distribution would be without bias to political affiliation or influence, adding that the entire process would be handled in collaboration with the Community Development Associations (CDAs) in each local government area in order to have real impact on the people.
He said that the move is also expected to curb the rising cost of food and serve as palliative for the communities at the grassroots.
The Commissioner advised Local Governments to encourage people, particularly the youths in their areas to engage in Agriculture, emphasizing the need to take advantage provided by the State Government through the Ministry of Agriculture to move farmers in the State from subsistence farming to real agribusiness.
According to him, the Biodun Oyebanji administration has provided farm equipment at highly subsidized prices to young farmers, adding that Farm machinery such as ploughs, ridgers, tractors, cultivators, are offered at extremely low prices to encourage young people to get involved in agriculture and help avoid food shortage.

Good job

Governor Biodun Oyebanji has done very well by putting smiling to people face. Please sir, extend this hand of fellowship to 1999/2022 political functionaries by paying there outstanding dues. It too long overdue.
