With our continued investment, empowerment, and equipping the good people of my constituency, we are enabling an environment that makes it easier for people – poor and less poor – to gain access to assets they need and these smallholder farmers can improve their livelihoods and experience the direct effects of this growth in all spheres.
We shall do more, as Biu and Shani Local Government Areas shall be visited and empowered accordingly. – MBA.
