“It would also facilitate farmer’s and small and medium scale farmers and medium businesses clustering and connection to infrastructure and network and business services,” he said.
Mr Elias Manza, the Chairman of Zangon Kataf local government area urged participants at the meeting to leverage on the available opportunity designed to boot agricultural production in addition to its economic value.
“Let us also extend all acquired knowledge to those who are not privilege to be here,” he said.
