Must Read!!! Free Distribution Of Oil Palm Seedlings To Farmers in Cross River State

The Commissioner for Agriculture in Cross River State James Aniyom,

has ordered the free distribution of oil palm seedlings to the people

of Cross River state as a way of improving the Agriculture economy of

the state and economic well being of the farmers.

The commissioner also gave the directive during the Ministerial

Management meeting held at the Ministry's Conference Room in Calabar.

He mention that the purpose of the directive was to encourage people

from Cross River to go into oil palm production since the state has

long been into the Agricultural Transformation Agenda of the Federal

Government and that it has accordingly become necessary to follow up

the transformation through the free distribution of oil palm seedlings

to farmers.

The Commissioner applaud the Agricultural Policies of state governor,

Liyel Imoke, which he said was empowering youths and women in

particular, through the provision of free Agricultural inputs and

loans to farmers. Aniyom therefore called on youths to respond to the

good gesture of the State Government and take advantage of its

Agricultural policies for their own benefit.
