Paramount ruler of Ganye Chiefdom in Adamawa Umaru Adamu Sands
The paramount ruler of Ganye Chiefdom in Adamawa, Umaru Adamu Sanda, has called on governments at all levels to fast track investment in the agricultural sector in the country in order to diversify the Nigerian economy, boost internally generated revenue and create employment for young people.
The Gangwari Ganye told reporters that his community, which is popularly dubbed the food basket of the Adamawa, lacks comprehensive and strategic investment in its agricultural endowments which has the potential to alter the landscape of Nigeria’s economy.
He made the remarks at an interactive session with journalists at his place in Ganye.
Umaru Sanda said his area grows cash and food crops like Cocoa, Irish potatoes, among several other crops, that could be harnessed on an industrial scale but that the community would require investment in road networks and farm equipment to realise its true potential.
