He said the association need to be commended for training the women in the business of perishable items and vegetables which according to him was a business dominated by men.
Bagudu also said:” I am quite impressed with this commendable initiative by the association, while others should copy from it.
” I am appealing to more  people in the state to form groups and cooperatives like this one, so as to get routine support from the state.
” My administration is ready to partner with any group and association, to further boost trade and commerce.
” This is with the view to further reduce unemployment and poverty, hence, add value to the economy of the state and that of Nigeria.”
