Former Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has urged the Kebbi State government and stakeholders to prioritize massive investment in agriculture.

During his visit, Obi pointed out the vast agricultural lands in Kebbi and the entire North West geopolitical zone, comparing them to Ukraine, which recently donated grains to Nigeria despite having less cultivated land. Obi stated that investing in agriculture is crucial for Nigeria's future, stating that it could solve problems such as insecurity, poverty, inflation, and food insufficiency.

During his visit, Obi provided Ramadan breakfast to 100 Muslim faithful and commissioned a solar-powered borehole at Hutawa Fulani settlement. He also paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Muhammad Illiyasu Bashar, and met with Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris. Governor Idris reiterated his administration's commitment to investing in human capacity development and agriculture for economic development.
