Just recently, the Government of Akwa Ibom State through the Ministry of Agriculture, in its bid to promote food sufficiency, distributed over 2,000 Goats to livestock farmers in the State. According to the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr. Glory Edet, the distribution was in fulfilment of Governor Udom Emmanuel’s avowed promise to ensure the sufficiency of food and consumables cultivated and reared in the State.
“Our Governor’s passion for agriculture stems from his consciousness that it is only through agriculture that poverty and unemployment can be reduced”, she said. African Dwarf Goats specie were presented to the farmers which she said are the best in terms of taste and quality, but lamented that they were almost going into extinction at the local goods markets.
