Ihiala LG receives N9m for Fadama III
Ihiala local
government council of Anambra State has received more than N9 million
from the Federal Government/World Bank for the Fadama III programme.
Augustine Egolum,
the director of agricultural services in the council, said on Thursday
in Ihiala that “our Fadama User Groups (FUGs) have received close to N10
million from the Federal Government for the various Fadama III projects
in the council, and the projects so far are sailing smoothly.
“We commend the
Federal Government/World Bank for the initiative, which has come to
change the fortune of farmers and other farming related productive
enterprises in the council area. It has also created jobs for school
leavers in our communities, especially in oil palm processing, animal
husbandry, and fishery projects,” she said.
She added that the money was disbursed in tranches to the various FUGs in the area.
