Sokoto government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Henan Province of China for the establishment of a demonstration farm and boosting of agriculture in the state. The signing took place in China where Tambuwal is visiting. Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, is also in China, even though Tambuwal visited separately.
With this agreement, Sokoto has become one of the beneficiaries of the 100 agricultural projects to be sited in developing countries which was announced by the Chinese President, Ji Xinping during the South-South Cooperation meeting held in September 2015.
The deal will see to the application of new technology for cultivation of crops such as corn, wheat, tomatoes and onions.
A statement issued from China by the spokesman of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Malam Imam Imam, said the agreement also provides room for experts from Sokoto and Henan Province to carry out joint analysis and study of climatic conditions, soil moisture status, crop cultivation techniques and plant protection and quarantine.
It will also promote lease investment and promotion of agricultural machinery between the two entities.
Speaking at the signing of the agreement in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province, Governor Tambuwal said as the largest producer of food and agric machinery in China, Henan Provice has a lot to offer Sokoto.
“They have some of the best agricultural machinery industries in the world. From simple ones to the complicated. Having gone round the factories and demonstration farms, we will choose the best one for our state.
“Signing this agreement today has given our decision to embrace mechanised agriculture a huge boost. We will quickly work to set up a joint working group to ensure its implementation,” the Governor added.
While the state commissioner of agriculture, Umar nagwari signed on behalf of Sokoto government, King Xue, the General manager of Henan Holding Industries signed on behalf of the Chinese.

this isn't development. If the chinese come to sokoto and grow tomatoes or sell machinery, while in that same state women are giving birth at 14 and 15 then nothing happened. None of the northerners are sharp enough to develop a culture. What they have is the rotten vestiges of 1335

Is it the culture that encourages ritual killings and Osu that is not detrimental to your growth?

You'd better keep your mouth shut if all that can come out of it is hypocrisy laced bigotry.
