Gombe to commence livestock production support project

Gombe State Government has indicated readiness to commence implementation of the Livestock Production and Resilience Support Project.

The PUNCH reports that the project is a World Bank-funded project aimed at enhancing livestock production through an effective value chain strategy that provides jobs and creates wealth for those engaging in the business.

The Secretary to the Government of the State, Professor Ibrahim Njodi, announced the state’s readiness when he received, on behalf of Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, the National Coordinator of the project at Government House Gombe.

Professor Njodi said, “The choice of Gombe State, along seven other states in the country to benefit from the project is born out of Governor Yahaya’s commitment to boost livestock production given its huge potential in the state.”
