Japan Donates Agriculture Implements to Borno Farmers

The Japanese Government on Wednesday presented farm implements worth millions of Naira to farmers in Borno State.

This was part of the efforts of the Asian country to assist victims of Boko Haram insurgency.

The flag off of the distribution to the beneficiaries by the UNDP Programme Officer in Borno, Mrs. Sali Musa was done at Mainok in Kaga Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

Musa said that the presentation was made under the United Nations (UN) Social Support Programme for insurgency victims.

She explained that the action was targeted at dry season farmers to enable them start producing food for subsistence, after suffering from the Boko Haram insurgency for some years.

“We are gathered here for the presentation of agricultural implement donated by the Japanese Government aimed at ensuring speed recovery of the state from the devastation of the insurgency.

“The Japanese Government decided to assist the state because of the devastation suffered from the Boko Haram crisis.”
