Farmers laud govt. over establishment of sugar factories

A cross section of the farmers gave the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Hadejia on Sunday.

Alhaji Idris Yau, a commercial farmer, said that the effort of state government in encouraging investment in the sector was “commendable”.

Yau said the sugar factories would generate employment and enhance wealth creation among rural farmers.

“We commend the establishment of sugarcane plantations and sugar factories in Hadejia and Kaugama local government areas of the state.

“This is a clear demonstration of the state government’s commitment to encourage investment in agriculture and manufacturing sectors,” he said.

Malam Abdullahi Haruna, another farmer, said that the establishment of the sugar factories would encourage sugarcane farming in the state.
