According to him, Nigeria’s abundant arable land makes it unnecessary to rely heavily on food imports, which is a drain on the country’s resources.

He encouraged the trainees to leverage the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills, become ambassadors of the state, and drive agricultural transformation.

Furthermore, Otti stated that the state government will cover all expenses for their training, from inception to completion.
