Nigeria: Jang Inaugurates Committee On Dry Season Farming

20 November 2012

Jos — Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State inaugurated the Governing Council of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) yesterday, charging the members to begin work immediately to determine how available resources could be utilised to make victims of flood disaster in parts of the state engage in dry season farming to make up for the loses that the flooding caused.

"The Federal Government has just sent fertiliser, water pumps, and other materials to boost dry season farming and there is the N500 million flood relief fund. You need to go to work immediately and determine how these money and materials can be deployed to enhance dry season farming and mitigate the losses caused by flood," the governor said.
