Protocols

1.I am honored to stand before you today as the Chairman, Transition Committee, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, aligning our efforts with Governor Umo Eno’s ARISE Agenda on Agriculture and the Golden Initiative For All. Today marks a significant step forward as we launch the “Back to Farm Initiative,” a bold undertaking aimed at revitalizing our agricultural sector.

2.In our commitment to this cause, we will be distributing essential resources to foster agricultural productivity across our community. Among these provisions are
✓ 500 bundles of high-quality cassava stems
✓ 187 bags of Maize
✓ 445 sachets of Okra
✓ 450 grams of Pepper
✓ Melon seeds. These resources are carefully allocated to benefit every one of the 87 gazetted villages within Mkpat Enin Local Government Area.

3.This initiative underscores our dedication to promoting sustainable agriculture, food security, and economic empowerment within our locality. By encouraging a return to the farm, we strive to not only cultivate crops but also sow the seeds of prosperity for our farmers and the community at large.

4.Additionally, I wish to take this moment to encourage our farmers to unite and form cooperatives that will be duly registered with the government. By doing so, we open doors to a multitude of opportunities, including easier access to loans and grants. This cooperative approach will not only strengthen our collective bargaining power but also enhance our ability to navigate the various support systems available both at the national and state levels of governance

5.I urge each of you to embrace this opportunity, to till the land with determination, and to harness the potential that lies within our agricultural heritage. Let us work hand in hand to transform Mkpat Enin into a thriving hub of agricultural excellence.
