Ishaku noted that the target of the state government was to boost rice production and marketing to enhance the economy of the state and boost food security. He, however, solicited the federal government partnership to enable state supply the country with rice.

“Our target is to supply the entire Nigeria with rice and we have already sought partnership with the federal government to enable us actualize the desire,” he said.
