Akwa Ibom State Government has commenced the process of creating a model of an integrated agro-economic venture to drive the administration’s vision of agricultural revolution in the A.R.I.S.E. Agenda as it takes delivery of a fifty-hectare parcel of land donated by Nsit Ubium Local Government Council for the take-off of the Ibom Model Farm Project.
The State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, while undertaking an inspection of the land for the proposed project at Ikot Edibon, Nsit Ubium LGA, restated the government’s readiness to site a replica of the farm and other viable projects in local government areas that are willing to follow the Nsit Ubium example, noting that such projects will be sited based on the comparative advantage of the area.
