aloeman15:
in a way, this is an own goal.
just this week, lai was boasting about all states having bumper harvests and net export of agric produce.
are these implement a matter of duplication of the state govts efforts, or is it that the farmers were all using hoes?

DETERMINED to reduce unemployment, rural-urban drift and diversify the economy through boosting agriculture, Bauchi state government has signed an agreement for the supply of 500 units of tractors for distribution to farmers through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) system of government.


The State Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar white signing the agreement explained that the epoch-making event for the supply of the 500 tractors was meant to boost agriculture and widen the opportunities for youth employment in the state.

A statement signed by the Press Secretary to the Governor, Abubakar Al-Sadique, contained that the tractors are to be distributed to registered farmers and farmers’ cooperatives on loan to be repaid over a period of three years.


The statement further contained that the agreement with Hakar Engineering Limited tagged “Subsidized Agricultural tractorization ownership programme,” involves the supply of 500, 75 horse power tractors, fully equipped with a plough, ridges, harrow and trailers which are to be sold to farmers.

The Governor also said that the supply of the tractors was the first time Bauchi state government is making such massive efforts to promote agricultural mechanization, in line with the APC manifesto and the campaign promises they made.

Mohammed Abubakar, however, observed that Nigeria, especially its Northern part, must make concerted efforts to engage its unemployed youth through agriculture, noting that his administration has embarked on the mechanization of the sector to attract other people to the sector.

These are not Federal Government projects. President Buhari went to Bauchi to commission an Air Force reference hospital (that's the Federal Government project) and the state government invited him to launch/commission some of its projects (tractors, roads, roundabouts, etc). http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/bauchi-govt-signs-agreement-for-supply-distribution9-of-500-tractors-to-farmers/

It is customary for the president of Nigeria to commission state government projects when he visits a state.

That's hateful, bitter, frustrated and disgruntled Igbos for you...This is why they don't and can never progress.

collitexnaira:
Op you said it as if buhari was the one that presented those tractors to them

baylord101:
So u expect Bauchi government to distribute it in the east so that only northerners won't get it
