He added that the previous administration's plans to support farmers at the state and federal levels should be commended for their efforts to develop agriculture in Kano and Nigeria, particularly the agricultural development plan of giving loans to farmers known as "Anchor Barrow," which helped many farmers who knew how to obtain them despite claims to the contrary made by some radio commentators.

It will be 50% or 100% if we add oil. Additionally, a discount should be applied in a timely manner if one is to be granted on the item that will be presented to him.
