Okorocha made this statement while interacting
with a group of traditional rulers from the state
operating under the aegis of traditional rulers in
agriculture who paid him courtesy call at his
residence.
He said: “Civil servants in the state have also
been encouraged to get deeply involved in the
‘Back to Land for Agriculture’ programme of the
state government.
“The idea of traditional rulers in Imo State
coming together to spearhead the fight against
recession through agriculture is most welcome.
“This is in tune with the rescue mission policy
statement of back to land for agriculture
which is aimed at boosting the agro-based
sector of our economy and thank God, the
traditional rulers are taking the initiative to the
grassroots.”
