A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Jide Olatubosun, FCA, on Monday, October 9, 2023, held the sixth annual farmers empowerment programme.
Olatubosun, who represented Saki West/ Saki East /Atisbo Federal Constituency in the 9th National Assembly, distributed items to over 200 farmers at the event.
The event, which took place at OYSADA office complex in Saki, was carried out by the Border Communities Development Agency in partnership with Olatubosun.
Each beneficiary was given bags of fertilizers, agrochemicals, maize seed and cash for land preparation.
Some of the beneficiaries from Sanni Sala, Eko Kan, Mua and Idera said they were happy that Olatubosun, despite not holding any public position, still has the interest of his people at heart.
The beneficiaries were selected from all the 32 wards in the federal constituency.
Olatubosun, who noted that the programme is in line with the renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, enjoined the beneficiaries to make the best use of the inputs received for the overall development of agriculture in the federal constituency, state and the country at large.
