A farmer and  Chief Executive Officer  of  ZTA Farms Limited,  Uthman Apaokagi,  has donated a transformer  to Tafa Tafa community in Asa Local Government area of Kwara.

 

Apaokagi also donated a classroom to the only primary school in the community.

 

Speaking at the inauguration  of the transformer and classroom, Mr Apaokagi, whose farm is located in the community,  said the donation was part of the farm’s social responsibility to its host community.

 

Mr Apaokagi added that the donation of the transformer would  bring economic development to the community and improve the  wellbeing of the people.

 

He called on the state government to provide  infrastructural facilities in rural communities to check the rural-urban migration.

 

Mr Apaokagi further  said the  classroom initiative was  to reduce the hardship pupils of the school were facing.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that friends of  the donor  who  were present at the inauguration pledged to furnish the classroom with desks and chairs as well as  provide a  staff room.

 

Inaugurating the facilities, the Tafida of Ilorin, Amuda Aluko, said  he was particularly happy over the development having encouraged the donor to venture into farming.

 

Mr Aluko called on parents in the community to educate their children for them to become  better citizens in future.

 

Yekini Alajagusi, an indigene of Asa Local Government Area,  also commended Mr Apaokagi for the donation of the transformer and classroom.

 

He called on other well meaning indigenes of the state to emulate the good gesture of Mr Apaokagi and invest in their communities.
