Earlier, the Board of Trustee Chairman, Dr. Engr. Olaitan Balogun said that the visit was to seek the state government's support to help their members grow rice in the state.

He added: “Ministries of Water Resources and Agriculture are critical for the growth of farm produce especially rice as water is essential for its growth.”
