In response, Niger State positioned itself as a pilot state for this project, showcasing its commitment to supporting the Federal Government’s vision.

“Niger State has also provided itself as a pilot state for that project, and we are also ambitious to also match with the Federal Government 500,000 for 500,000,” Governor Bago affirmed.
