200,000 to 250,000 farmer millionaires will be
created through the revolution,” he said.

emulate the monarch’s desire to drive agricultural
revolution in the country.

of Kebbi as a benchmark, while embracing
farming as a sustainable means of wealth creation.

would generate 3,500 jobs and engage the services

He commended the state government and other
