What they say

Commenting on the latest development, Nanono mentionned, “The ministry would support farmers with farm inputs and zero-interest loans, through the Central Bank of Nigeria and other financial institutions to mitigate the effect of COVID-19 and the recent flooding in the states of Kebbi, Jigawa and Kano.
