The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has flagged off the distribution of agricultural inputs, comprising organic liquid fertilizer and soil conditioner, to farmers in Akwa Ibom State.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Ibitoye Abosede.
According to the statement, NDDC Managing Director, Mr Nsima Ekere, while addressing farmers during the distribution of the agricultural inputs, said the interventionist agency was determined to guarantee food security in the Niger Delta region.
Ekere, represented by the Akwa Ibom State representative on the NDDC board, Honourable Samuel George, said the commission had always recognised agriculture as the way forward for Nigeria. He said the interventionist agency would continue to initiate programmes that would boost modern agricultural practices.
