The Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has promised the residents of Jigawa State that, if elected on February 25, he will resurrect the agricultural and commercial industry in the state.
Atiku made the pledge on Wednesday at the PDP’s presidential rally in Dutse while addressing a group of party members at the Aminu Kano Triangle.
Atiku said: “I promise you that farming and trading which is the main occupation of the people of Jigawa will be revived, we are prepared to give you assistance so that you can partake in agriculture and also in business. I promise you that we will open the borders by God’s grace. We will also revive farming, cattle rearing and businesses.
“We will also ensure that our children go back to school and there won’t be teacher strikes. I will set aside $10 billion to assist youths and women especially. If you vote for our party I promise to fulfil my promise to you,” the former vice president said.
