According to Junaidu, who is also the Director of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, with such a subsidy and other incentives, this vital agricultural sub sector will certainly be improved. He added that, "Even the menace of area boyism and the ever rising unemployment rate in the country will be a thing of the past."
He said the youths of the country should be more empowered to engage in farming.
