The permanent solution is to return to the farm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we will soon set up an Agric Committee that will support our people with seedlings so they can return to the farm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis committee will work tirelessly to ultimately make our staple food items available at a drastically reduced price range,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Udoh further disclosed that the second bill seeks to create the State\u2019s Assets Register, different and separate from Akwa Ibom State Road and Other Infrastructure Maintenance Agency, (AKROIMA) which was essentially for roads maintenance across the states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to develop a strong maintenance culture. We can\u2019t allow our assets to deteriorate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis bill also seeks to create an occupational safety department, in line with what obtains elsewhere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
