The Jigawa Government has sponsored 30 Engineering graduates to China so as to modernize agriculture in the state.
Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State disclosed this in a post he shared on his official X account on Friday night.
“Earlier today (Friday), I bade farewell to 30 brilliant engineering graduates from Jigawa State as they set off on a journey to China for specialized training in agricultural mechanization,” Namadi wrote.
“It is a proud moment for us all and one that marks a major step in our mission to modernize agriculture, empower our youth and turn Jigawa into a hub of innovation and progress.”
Namadi said he believes that these talented young minds will come back as master technicians who will be ready to roll up their sleeves and keep the 300 tractors, 60 combine harvesters and other advanced equipment Jigawa will bring in running smoothly for farmers in the state.
“Through 60 newly established service centers across Jigawa, these machines will be within every farmer’s reach at affordable, subsidized rates,” the governor added.
“We are not just talking efficiency here, we are talking about a real boost to productivity and livelihoods.
“But let us be clear, this is more than just agriculture, it is about creating opportunities, breaking the cycle of poverty and securing a brighter, better future for Jigawa State.
“To our technicians: Go, learn, make us proud and come back as ambassadors of change. Together, we are building something that will last for generations.”
