ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT URGES ITS INDIGENS TO INVEST MORE ON RICE FARMING AS BORDER CLOSURE ISSUE BECOMES MORE SERIOUS

-

The State's Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr

Matthew Idu, offered the guidance while talking

with newsmen on outskirt conclusion on Tuesday in

Enugu.

Idu said that the outskirt conclusion would help

nearby rice creation, particularly in Uzo-Uwani

Nearby Government Area (LGA) of the state.

"Since the state joined the FADAMA venture, the

government has discovered that around six, out of

the 17 LGAs in the state, have arable land for

rice development in huge amount.

"The state government is, in this way, approaching

inhabitants to take part in rice cultivating in those

regions with arable land and advisors, who are

into preparing on the best way to develop rice, are

accessible,'' he said.

He recorded the LGAs with arable land for developing

rice as Uzo-Uwani, Aninri, Awgu, Nsukka, Nkanu

also, Orji River.


As per him, the outskirt conclusion isn't new

the same number of nations did likewise to help their

residents produce what they required, along these lines

connecting with the majority emphatically.

"Nigerians may think that its troublesome toward the start

of the outskirt conclusion, however it is to the advantage of

the individuals.

"It will cause Nigerians to go into cultivating and start

to deliver their nourishment without anyone else's input as opposed to

bringing in all things. The outside rice that is

being brought into the nation now and then can

be lapsed.

"This is on the grounds that no one knows when it was

created and to what extent it has been kept previously

bringing them into Nigeria.

"I accept that toward the end, there will be a lot

nourishment created by Nigerians and there will be

lesser importation of nourishment things into the

nation," Idu said.

CUCUMBER PRODUCTION **INTRODUCTION* Cucumber is a long vegetable with a dark green skin and light green flesh that is usually eaten raw. It is enjoyed by many and is one of the main constituents of fruit salad. **LAND PREPARATION* It thrives well in rich loamy or clayey soil. It does not require too much water for its growth. The land is cleared and ploughed if necessary. Mounds or ridges are made ready for the planting. **PLANTING* Improved seedlings are used for maximum output. These seeds are incorporated 2 per hole at a regular spacing of about 1ft - 2Ft on the mounds or ridges. This is best done around April/May. **FERTILIZER APPLICATION* This is best done after 2 - 3 weeks using N.P.K 15:15:15. Small holes are made at a distance of about 4 to 5 inches away from the young cucumber plant and the fertilizers are incorporated inside about match box full size.

Modern Day Poultry Farming in Nigeria Poultry Farming has become one of the most lucrative Nigerian businesses, and is arguably the big thing in Nigerian agriculture. Many big businesses, entrepreneurs, retired uncles, job seekers and Nigerians living overseas are making inroads into the sector, either to pursue their keen interest in livestock farming or to rake in big money. In the last decade Nigeria’s poultry farming industry has changed into a full-blown sustainable business sector, and contributed greatly to the nation’s economic stature. Like me, there are numerous supporters of poultry farming in Nigeria, who in some way or another, are trying to draw focus and promote this old but growing sector, and highlight its benefits. The most notable feature of poultry farming is that it ensures phenomenal returns in a blink of an eye, but it is also sensitive.
