Ahead of the farming season, a former Governor of Abia State, Senator Theodore Orji, has said that he has commenced procurement of agricultural equipment and fertilizer for distribution among his constituents.
Orji disclosed this in an exclusive interview with our correspondent after addressing members of the Grassroots Movement at his Constituency Office in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.
He said this was aimed at encouraging the farmers among them to key into the calls by both the Federal and state governments on the people to revive the agricultural sector.
Stating that while he was in office he did his best to encourage the growth of the sector, he assured that he would put a mechanism in place to ensure that the items reached the target constituents.
