“Agricultural banks are being revitalized. When respected, banks will provide funds for large, medium and small scale agriculture,” he said.

“Let people become the heart of your program. Your hard work and concrete achievements will answer any criticism. Ignore your disorders – the results you will speak for you,” the President said.

The assigned road is East Bypass, which stretches from Jalan Dutsin-MA through Kano and Daura roads and stopped in Yandaki in the Kaita Regional Government.

“The economy is sailing on the right track. Today, we see efforts to dispose of hunger and commitment to our food security and empowerment of our people. Small and large agriculture will be encouraged.

“Extraordinary progress in the state will continue to be appreciated. I want to convince the Nigerian public that agriculture is the heart of our progress and must be for all. We have dedicated ourselves to food security. We must invest in the mechanization and management of water. The old agricultural style is lost,” he said.

President Tinubu challenges the governor to pay more attention to agriculture.

“You have introduced a great and progressive movement in the state of Katsina by only cultivating land and placing land for use. Agriculture will be a source of prosperity and our growth.

This is a great investment, and I hope others can learn from it. The construction of a 24 km road speaks a lot about the effectiveness of the government. I thank you,” said President Tinubu.
