We reckon the enormous benefit this Institute would bring in terms of creating local sustainable employment that would go a long way to reduce the cancerous rural urban drift”, Alhaji Yakubu emphasized.
He stressed that the proposal which was scrutinized by the Agribank division of the Bank and approved it, is one worth supporting as the bank has done in the past adding that the Bank will provide Nana Suriboe with a dedicated relationship Manager to assist in ensuring the proper utilization of the funds.
The MD assured the Ministry of the Bank’s continuous support towards the Farmers Day Celebration adding that ADB takes pride in being the headline sponsor of the National Best Farmers’ Day since 2001.
