In a groundbreaking effort to boost sustainable livestock feeding, combat desertification, and create jobs, Gombe State has initiated collaboration with China’s Juncao Technology Development Center under the L-PRES and ACReSAL Projects.
The joint technical meeting, held Thursday at the L-PRES conference hall, aligns with Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s vision of revamping the livestock sector.
According to Prof. U.B. Abubakar, L-PRES Project Coordinator, the partnership focuses on producing nutritious forage like Napier and Elephant grasses, which promote environmental protection and support livestock.
