Owing to the devastating effects of flood disaster where many have been rendered hapless, Farmers in Numan/Demsa/ Lamurde have been aided through an empowerment initiative by the member representing Numan Demsa Lamurde in the House of Representatives, Hon. Kwamoti B Laori.
The federal law maker who sponsored the distribution of Water Pumps, Herbicides, Knapsack Sprayers and Fertilizer to farmers in his Constituency, believed the gestures will go a long way into ameliorating the plight of those affected.
The gesture which is clearly aimed at mitigating the impact of flood that ravaged the area in October where crops and farmlands were destroyed, is expected to also uplift the spirit of victim who appear despondent.
Stakeholders who witnessed the occasion applauded the Reps member for coming to the aid of the farmers at the time it is needed the most.
They described the effort as apt and timely as it would boast the morale of the farmers who have since commenced land preparation for the dry season cropping in the area.
In his remarks, the law maker advised beneficiaries to make good use of the items while urging those yet to benefit to patiently await their turn as such distribution would continue to take place as long as he continues representing them.
Others who spoke at the event included the Deputy Speaker, Rt Hon. Pwamwakaino Makondo, Hon. Commissioner Tertiary Education, Prof. Dishi Khobe, Hon. Christopher Sofore- Executive Chairman Numan LGA, Elder Amna Farai, Hon, Dimas Bello and host of others.
The beneficiaries on their part expressed gratitude for the gesture and prayed God to reward the member for his life impacting intervention .
Highlights of the event was a cultural dance display by the Bachama Traditional Dance Troupe.
