The Conference of Directors of Agriculture and Natural Resources in Oyo State Local Government Service has pleaded with the Government of the day to make quality food storage facilities available at all levels to prevent unnecessary wastage during harvest seasons.

This plea was made during the closing ceremony of a two-day workshop organized by Oyo State Local Government Service Commission, at Alayande Teachers Resource Centre, Samonda, Ibadan, Oyo State.

John Adisa-Oke, reiterated the Commission’s commitment to training of Agricultural Officers so as to boost the economy through modern farming system, adding that it had been noted that the workshop was an impactful one which would reflect at the grassroots.
