According to Diri, though the State have received about N8 billion and five tractors to support the State in its drive for food sufficiency, the decision to direct members of the State Executive Council to own their farms, is a deliberate State policy to achieve food self sustainability in the State and all hands must be on deck.

Everybody must be involved in agriculture and this has become the policy of the present administration where the Governor has declared that every member of the State Executive Council, including the Governor and Deputy Governor, must have a farm and we have all agreed.

‘We want to maximise the agricultural potentials of Bayelsa State and we believe that all of us must put our hands on deck to achieve greater prosperity through agriculture. We have very comparative advantage in almost all areas of the food value chain but we will focus on four key areas which include rice, fish, cassava and plantain, we also have advantage and potentials in the areas of sugar cane, sweet potatoes, coconut, guava, cocoa, African mango and cashew, and so every crop can grow in Bayelsa State,’ the Deputy Governor said.
