Ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations, the Lagos State Government has concluded plans to hold the annual edition of the Eko City Farmers’ Fair and Appreciation Day, on Sunday, December 20, 2020, aimed at presenting farm produce at affordable prizes to the masses.
The state Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms. Abisola Olusanya, who disclosed this on Thursday, explained that the Fair would enable residents to shop for all farm produce straight from the farm at farm gate prices as well as buy rice at N20,000 per 50Kg bag, a result of the intervention of the State government in collaboration with the Federal and Kebbi state Governments.

By Gabriel Ewepu – Abuja
After one year of closing land borders, President Muhammadu Buhari, Wednesday, announced the reopening of borders across the country, farmers along various value chains, Thursday, reacted over the development as it affects their business.
Some of them who spoke with Vanguard said the reopening of borders will have a negative impact on their business, while others said it will help address the scarcity of feed in the poultry industry, but called for proper monitoring and inspection of food items that come into the country in order to curtail activities of criminals who want to take advantage of reopening of the borders by smuggling arms and prohibited materials and other measures to control the movement of goods and persons.
