In a recent visit to the Ngaranam Livestock Settlement in Mafa Local Government Area, Kadafur inspected key facilities in preparation for the their official commissioning.
The commission is scheduled for Today Saturday at Mafa.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment towards that direction, the deputy governor earlier emphasized the importance of modernizing facilities, improving working conditions, and building strong partnerships with stakeholders in the sector.
“The Borno State Government is determined to unlock the potential of the livestock sector, and we are committed to working closely with all stakeholders to achieve this goal,” he said.
