Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has said his administration has perfected plans with the United States of America (USA) to export one million tubers of yam, as well as other vegetables to the United Kingdom.
He noted that the state had trained some personnel that would embark on the exportation of goods, in addition to direct and indirect employments it would create.
Obiano stated this at S.S John and Paul Parish (Iba Pope), Awada, Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state during a mass to commemorate the visit of St John Paul II to the parish 35 years ago and 10 years of its dedication.
The governor expressed the opinion that his administration in the past three years had invested heavily in agriculture to give the state economic respite. He said the state would soon produce 550,000 eggs per day to meet the needs of the people.
Obiano maintained that the state had embarked on massive construction of some roads in Awada, including the 500 meters of Osumenyi road, 100 meters of Nsugbe Street among others.
He, however, promised to always intervene in the plight of the people and further improve their standard of living so as to deflate the pains of the present economic crunch.
In his homily, the Archbishop of Onitsha and Metropolitan of Onitsha Ecclesiastical Province, Rev (Dr.) Valerian Okeke reminded Christians that their body was God’s temple and should refrain from immorality.
The Archbishop urged them to seek divine grace to enable them keep the commandments of God so as to sojourn with him in heaven rather than eternal damnation.
