In a significant move to empower farmers in the Demsa/Numan/Lamurde Federal Constituency, Rep. Kwamoti B. Laori has successfully distributed NPK fertilizer and the improved rice seed variety, FARO 67, aimed at boosting food production and enhancing farmers' incomes.
This initiative, which targets over one thousand constituents, is designed to ensure that every polling unit in the area benefits from these vital resources. The timely intervention comes as many farmers prepare for dry season rice farming, a critical strategy in response to the recurring floods that frequently devastate farmlands in the region.
During the distribution event, Hon. Kate Mamuno, Majority Leader of the Adamawa State House of Assembly and representative for Demsa State Constituency, conveyed Rep. Laori’s appreciation to the ward representatives who collected the inputs on behalf of their communities. She urged them to ensure that the materials are utilized effectively and not sold, emphasizing their role in boosting food production and alleviating poverty in rural areas.
Rep. Laori highlighted that the high-yielding improved seeds, if properly utilized, could position Demsa/Numan/Lamurde as a leading exporter of rice, as well as of improved rice seeds within the subregion.
The flag-off ceremony saw participation from various dignitaries, including Hon. Bauna Myandasa, member representing Lamurde State Constituency, Hon. Chief Niwesa George Kushi, Board Chairman of the Jimeta Ultra Modern Market, Hon. Maimuna Bariki, Vice Chair of Numan LGA, Hon. Mennas Ngangurah, CEO of Adamawa State Mining Company, Hon. Wenakam Wesley, Hon. Pwagwadi Omeno, Elder Amna Ibrahim Farai, Sole Administrators of State Development Areas, alongside numerous party stakeholders and leaders of farmers’ associations.
The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to Rep. Kwamoti for his generous support, praying for his continued success and advancement in leadership for his exemplary representation of the community.
This initiative marks a pivotal step in enhancing agricultural productivity and fostering economic resilience in the region, showcasing Rep. Kwamoti's commitment to improving the livelihoods of his constituents.
