Emir of Gaya urges youths to embrace agriculture

New Emir of Gaya in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdulkadir has urged youths in the state to participate in farming and be less dependent on wages and salaries.

The royal father made this charge during a visit by members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) and the National Association of Kano State Students (NAKSS) to his palace.

In his words, “Youths wouldn’t be wandering around after they have graduated from school if farming has been embraced as a profession”

Emir Abdulkadir added that the youths will benefit from agriculture if they adopted it as a profession, thereby making them independent and contribute to enhancing the economy of the state and the country as a whole.

“North is well known with farming, therefore there is the need we revive the sector through embracing farming by the youths,” the Emir noted.
