Weta rice farmers seek urgent support after floods destroy crops

“The concerns raised must translate into a clear rehabilitation plan, accountability for funds committed to the project, and a credible pathway towards restoring the livelihoods of affected farmers,” Mr Agbana added.“We are appealing to the government, as a matter of urgency, to rehabilitate the project for us and provide financial support so that we can feed ourselves while waiting for the next farming season.

A delegation comprising chiefs, farmers and concerned youth presented the petition, calling for government intervention to restore production and help affected families recover their livelihoods.
