The people of Suru and Bagudo Federal Constituency have reason to rejoice as Hon. Bello Kaoje, their representative in the House of Representatives, has once again demonstrated his commitment to their welfare. On Tuesday, Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State flagged off the distribution of agricultural inputs and other materials to 9,400 beneficiaries in Bagudo Local Government Area, courtesy of Hon. Kaoje.
The materials distributed included water pumps, grinding machines, fertilizers, herbicides, improved rice and maize seeds, motorcycles, sprayers, rice parboiling machines, and sewing machines. Governor Idris commended Hon. Kaoje for his benevolence, noting that the people of Suru and Bagudo have repeatedly benefited from his empowerment programs.
Hon. Kaoje explained that the program was designed to encourage agricultural production and eradicate poverty and hunger in the region. He added that the initiative would complement the agricultural policies of Governor Nasir Idris, considering Kebbi's vast landmass suitable for the production of food and cash crops.
The lawmaker also appealed to the Fulani community to expose bad elements amongst them to the appropriate authorities to maintain peace and development. Dr. Tanko Yusuf Sununu, the Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, praised Hon. Kaoje for his efforts, noting that he has excelled not only in legislative matters but also in empowering his people in various sectors.
The event was also attended by Bagudo Local Government Chairman, Hon. Aliyu Sambo Zagga, who highlighted Governor Idris' developmental projects in the area. State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, appreciated the Governor's visit, saying it was an opportunity to thank the people of Bagudo for their support to the administration.
