During a meeting with Farmers’ Associations in Asaba, Dr. Kingsley Emu, Secretary to the State Government, outlined the allocation details. Farmers specializing in oil palm will receive 1,490 bags, while cassava farmers are to receive 1,100. Other key beneficiaries include banana and plantain farmers (350 bags), rice (150 bags), and greenhouse farmers (200 bags), among others.
