Taraba State has seen significant progress and development under the leadership of its current Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas. This was evident as he recently marked one year in office by launching the distribution of 250 tractors to farmers across the state.
Acknowledging the crucial role that farmers play in the state’s economy, Dr. Kefas emphasized the need to support them in their farming activities. The distribution of these tractors, which were purchased by the state government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, will undoubtedly ease both rainy and dry season farming activities.
The launch of these tractors is not just about unveiling machinery, but it is also about sowing the seeds of hope, progress, and a brighter future for all farmers in Taraba State. With this gesture, Governor Kefas has shown his commitment to the growth and development of the agricultural sector in the state.
For too long, farmers in Taraba State have faced numerous challenges, including inadequate farming tools. However, with the distribution of these tractors, the state government is taking proactive steps to address this issue. This will not only improve the efficiency of farming activities but also increase agricultural productivity and ultimately boost the state’s economy.
It is also noteworthy that the tractors were distributed across all the sixteen local governments and two development areas of the state. This ensures that farmers from all parts of Taraba State will have equal access to these farming tools, regardless of their location. This inclusive approach by the state government is commendable and will go a long way in supporting the livelihoods of farmers in the state.
Governor Kefas also called on the distributors to ensure that the tractors reach the intended farmers on time, so they can make good use of them. This shows his dedication and attention to detail in ensuring that the tractors serve their purpose and benefit those who need them the most.
The distribution of these tractors is just one of the many efforts made by Governor Kefas to boost the agricultural sector in Taraba State. Since assuming office, he has embarked on various initiatives and programs to support farmers, such as providing fertilizers, improved seeds, and training programs. These efforts have not only increased agricultural production but also created employment opportunities for the youth in the state.
