Vice President Kashim Shettima will embark on a one-day working visit to Nasarawa State on Friday, January 3, 2025.
Governor Abdullahi Sule made this known during the signing of the 2025 Appropriation Bill at the Government House on Monday.
According to the governor, Shettima is billed to participate in four major official engagements that include the graduation of over 1,000 trained technicians at Ibrahim Abdullahi Vocational and Technical Institute.
He added that the vice president is expected to perform the groundbreaking ceremony of the construction of the head office of Nasarawa Investment Development Agency, NASIDA, as well as the multi outdoor court funded by the World Bank through a $4million facility.
“The vice president is interested in showing that the rice we cultivated in Jangwa is continuous and not just for one season.
“We are going to distribute rice seedlings to every local government area so that local chairmen will collect their tractors and also collect seedlings.
“Also, we have received about N3billion from the federal government to support flood victims and Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs. Most of the items to be given to them have been bought by NASEMA and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs. Shettima will participate in the distribution of these items,” he stated.
He, therefore, appealed for support from the people in order to make the vice president’s visit a success.
