After visiting the former Head of State, Tinubu met with farmers and some Agro-Commodity groups to unveil his action plan for the agricultural sector.

The APC Presidential candidate met with the farmers and agro-commodity groups at a town hall meeting held at Idris Legbo Kutigi Conference Hall in Minna.

Speaking at the meeting, Tinubu promised to turn around the agricultural sector in the country and provide modern farm implements at subsidized rates to farmers across the country if elected as President in 2023.

He also appointed the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum and Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, to head a committee to fashion a blueprint that will help position the agric sector to occupy its deserved pride of place.
