He reiterated his administration's dedication to enhancing the profitability of agriculture in the state for its citizens.

Hon. Sunday Abdu, the Executive Secretary of Plateau State Emergency Management Agency (PLASEMA), said that more than 170 trucks of fertilizer have been uploaded, with an additional 40 trucks waiting to be processed.
