The member representing Darazo-Ganjuwa in the House of Representatives, Mansur Soro, has donated a set of Massey Ferguson 375 to support farmers ahead of the rainy season.

Soro equally launched the first phase of MMS Young Millionaires in the agriculture programme, empowering 125 selected youths in rice farming.

Donating the tractor alongside other farm inputs on Saturday, Soro noted that the support was under the Darazo-Ganjuwa Farm Mechanisation Support Initiative for the use of registered farmers.

He said, “The donation is an addition to the same brand of tractor we facilitated after registering the association with relevant government agencies in the year 2020.”
The PUNCH reports that the 125 farmer beneficiaries were empowered with four bags of NPK fertiliser 15-15-15, 15kg of Faro-69 improved seeds, four litres of different pesticides and herbicides, N20,000 farm clearance fee, and one spraying machine.

The lawmaker said the programme was targeting the cultivation of one acre of land per head, with a projected harvest of 40 bags of paddy rice valued at N2m.

He said, “The second phase of the programme will follow after the implementation and evaluation of the first phase by the team of farm extension services.

“Darazo-Ganjuwa Federal Constituency, under my humble representation, is prioritising agricultural intervention for the betterment of our people.”
