The member representing Anambra East and West federal constituency, Chief Chinedu Obidigwe has said that he is sending 40 farmers to Egypt so they will learn how to engage in mechanised small scale farming, wet and dry season farming, methods of preservation of agricultural produce, among others.
While speaking before departing through the Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Obidigwe said he would continue to give his constituents quality representation and explained that his main objective is to ensure that his constituents who are majorly farmers, learn all the modern ways of farming.
The federal lawmaker who is the deputy chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Environment and Ad-hoc chairman, House Committee on Health, declared that after the workshop in Egypt, he would empower all the participants chosen from the two local government areas that made up the federal constituency with cash, of not less than a million naira each, for them to become self-reliant.
He commended Governor Willie Obiano for building the International Cargo and Passenger Airport, as according to him, Ndi Anambra have been yearning for an airport since the creation of the state in 1991.
The president, Aguleri National Youth Association, Chief Nnamdi Ikeli-Adimorah, said the lawmaker had demonstrated that he has the interest of his people at heart, as the agro-worksop would broaden the knowledge of the participants in all agro-business.
