Delta
State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has urged Nigerians to participate in the
development of the agricultural sector so as to diversify and improve the
nation’s economy.
Speaking
during the valedictory Thanksgiving Service of the Outgoing Local
Government Council Chairmen in the state at the weekend in Asaba, Senator Okowa
said that the present economic recession has shown that Nigerians needed
to look beyond the oil economy and embrace agriculture for the growth
of the economy.
He called
the clergy and laity to continue to pray for sustenance of peace and unity in
the country and the Niger Delta region.
While
congratulating the outgoing chairmen for a successful three years tenure and
for remembering to give thanks to God, the governor urged them to continue to
contribute their quota to the development of the state wherever they find
themselves.
