” I dont think in the most recent time, this kind of flood has happened to this level, the only thing i can say is that, the Almighty God is in control.
” Everything that we have seen is from God and we must thank Him and i know He can replace whatever we lost, with what we can even imagine. ”
Goronyo assured the farmers that, the CBN had sent in its officials from the Development Finance Department, to come to Kebbi and assess the situation, for immefiate action.
The CBN governor, according to him, had directed RIFAN to mobilise one million farmers that can quickly produce five million metric tonnes for the dry season commencing in November , 2020, for support.
