The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, His Majesty Ahmed Tijani Anaje, has commended the World Bank, Federal Government and Kogi State Government for investing heavily in the livestock sector to generate enormous income for Nigerians.
The royal father stated this when staff and management of the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project, KOGI L-PRES, led by the state project coordinator, Dr Olufemi Bolarin, visited the palace of Ohinoyi of Ebiraland in Okene as part of stakeholder engagement with traditional rulers in the central senatorial district of the state.
According to the monarch, crops and livestock farming have been the trademarks of the Ebira ethnic group, noting that the massive investment in the livestock sector in Kogi State would no doubt change the lives of rural dwellers for the better.
He charged the beneficiaries of the programme to use the input that will be given to them to expand their livestock farming to generate income as well as become employers of labour in the near future.
The royal father pledged the support of the traditional institutions in the central senatorial district to enable the project to succeed and benefit the people.
