She said the training exercise was designed to equip women with the skills to improve farming activities and contribute to the state’s economic growth.


“Women play a vital role in the development of our communities, and it is essential that we provide them with the necessary tools and support to succeed,” she said.


In a presentation, Dr Ibrahim Disina, said Muslim women were the backbone of the society, adding that their contributions to the economy and social development cannot be overstated.

Prof. Zubairu Madaki, Chairman of the JIBWIS in the state, lauded the gesture, and enjoined the beneficiaries to respect their husbands in line with Islamic perspectives.

He also encouraged them to utilise the ideas shared during the training for a better future.
“The knowledge and skills you have acquired are not only for your personal benefit but also for the benefit of your families and communities,” he said.


Aisha Mohammed, one of the participants, lauded the gesture and promised to step down the skills in her community.


“I am grateful for this opportunity, and I’m committed to sharing my newfound skills with other women in my community.”

A member of House of Representatives, Nnamdi Ezechi, has advocated for strict implementation of extant laws prohibiting open grazing in the states.


Ezechi stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja while reacting to the recent killing of a member of a vigilance group in his constituency, Mr Ogonegbu Chukwunomnazu.


The lawmaker, representing Ndokwa East/Ndokwa West and Ukwuani in the lower legislative chamber, while condemning the killing, reiterated the imperatives of implementing extant laws on open grazing by states.


He urged the Inspector-General of Police to help fish out the killers of his constituent and bring them to justice.


“I call on the I-GP to rise up to the occasion by apprehending those behind the killing of the vigilante member.


“I also expect the police and other security agencies to help implement laws by various states, including Delta, that prohibit open grazing and provide for cattle ranching,” he said.


According to him, it is wrong for people to cause disadvantage to others with their own businesses.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lawmaker had earlier raised the matter through a motion of urgent national importance on the floor of the house.


NAN also reports that the Speaker, Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, had also called on the inspector-general of police and other security agencies to swing into action on the matter.
