Pastor Jide Ipinsagba, the senator who represents the Ondo North senatorial constituency in the Senate, organized a fertiliser distribution that helped over 2,000 farmers in the district.
The distribution was seen to be essential for boosting food production self-sufficiency.
Ipinsagba stated during the distribution that empowering the farmers was one of his election promises.
He emphasized that the goal of this campaign was involve lower-level farmers in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s agricultural plan.
Ipinsagba asked the farmers to cultivate more land with food and cash crops in order to meet public demand and ensure their families had enough to eat. He was represented by his legislative assistant, Hon. Aladetimehin Olusola.
He emphasized that the farmers’ goals of advancing agriculture and guaranteeing food security in the state will be greatly advanced by the free distribution of fertilizer.
Noting the enormous growth the Sunshine State had experienced in the previous seven years, particularly in the field of food production, he urged the populace to support the Akeredolu-led administration.
