The member representing Anambra East and West Federal Constituency of Anambra State, Hon. Chinedu Obidigwe has vowed to produce more millionaire farmers from his constituency.
Hon Obidigwe made this known in his office on Friday when he hosted over 43 members Aka Oma group, who are his constituents who came to pay him a courtesy call in Abuja.
Obidigwe said he is going to produce two hundred and fifty thousand millionaire farmers in the Anambra East and West Federal Constituency he represents at the National Assembly.
The lawmaker, who proudly sponsored the 43 farmers to Egypt to acquire skills in modern farming techniques to boost their productivity, promised to do more to make life meaningful for the people of his constituency.
The group comprising of thirty-one (31) females and twelve (12) men were in the agrarian country to undertake training in various aspects of modern agricultural practices, including mechanised farming, crop rotation, fishery and aquaculture.
He said the motivation to sponsor the constituents was borne out of his resolve to produce millionaire farmers who can contribute meaningfully to the pace of the nation’s progress, especially in the area of agriculture.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State liaison officer in Abuja, Agatha Manafa urged the participants at the programme to ensure that the benefits of the training trickle down to their subordinates in the constituency.
She added that the experience garnered at the foreign trip by the farmers will help in the actualisation of the agricultural transformation programme of the Anambra State Governor Wille Obiano in a few years to come.
