KATSINA GOVERNMENT COMMITS TO SUPPORTING PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT

Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to providing an enabling environment for private sector investment in the state. The Governor made this pledge during a meeting with the Director General of the National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency (NBRDA), Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, at Government House, Katsina.



Governor Radda highlighted the challenges faced by local farmers, particularly the decline in cotton production due to low-quality seeds. He noted that these challenges have deterred many farmers from cultivating cotton, resulting in a significant reduction in yields. "Our administration is committed to reviving cotton production in Katsina State by providing improved seeds and creating a conducive environment for our farmers," he stated.

The NBRDA Director General visited Katsina to formalize a strategic partnership agreement with Dar Al-Halal Animal Farm, led by its Chairman, Alhaji Muhammadu Dikko Ladan. The partnership aims to establish a state-of-the-art meat hub that will position Nigeria as a major player in the international beef export market. The initiative promises to enhance food and nutrition security, significantly increase livestock output, and create substantial employment opportunities for local farmers and communities across the state.

Governor Radda revealed that his government is investing heavily in agricultural initiatives, including the distribution of fertilizers and other necessary inputs to support farmers. He stressed that agriculture remains the most effective means of improving the livelihoods of the people in Katsina State.

The Governor expressed his excitement about the private sector-led initiative and assured the investors of his government's unwavering support. He emphasized his administration's commitment to creating conducive business environments that attract and sustain agricultural investments in the state. He called for the NBRDA to collaborate closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in the state to develop a comprehensive plan for the partnership.

The Katsina State Government's commitment to supporting private sector investment is expected to boost the state's economy and improve the livelihoods of its citizens. The establishment of a meat hub and the revival of cotton production are significant initiatives that will contribute to the state's economic growth and development.

The partnership between the Katsina State Government and Dar Al-Halal Animal Farm is expected to have a positive impact on the state's economy. The establishment of a meat hub will create employment opportunities, increase livestock output, and enhance food security. The revival of cotton production will also contribute to the state's economic growth and development.

The Katsina State Government will work closely with the NBRDA and Dar Al-Halal Animal Farm to develop a comprehensive plan for the partnership. The government will also continue to provide support and create an enabling environment for private sector investment in the state. With this partnership, the state is expected to experience significant economic growth and development in the agricultural sector.
