Member of the House of Representatives representing Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, Mansur Soro, on Friday, presented a cheque in the sum of N26 million to deserving students of the Federal Constituency as support.
The beneficiaries who were credited through their bank accounts with sum of N40,000 each were selected following an online application process.
Other beneficiaries included students and pupils of tuition and kit-free special primary and gifted secondary schools established by Mansur Manu Soro in 2021 at Lanzai, Soro, Sade, Darazo and Kafin Madaki who received N10,000 each.
Since year 2020, the Federal Lawmaker has remained consistent in facilitating grants to students of his Constituency annually, including N10m (2020), N21million (2021), N20million (2022), N20million (2023) and N26million (2024).
Mansur Manu Soro also, inspected the 1st- batch of 100 units of solar irrigation pumps procured by Darazo-Ganjuwa Agricultural Commodity Marketing Company (DAGACOM).
The procurement of solar irrigation pumps by DAGACOM is coming at a time when dry season farmers are struggling to use petrol-led irrigation pumps due to high costs of lubricant and petrol.
After the inspection, the Federal Lawmaker directed that 40% subsidy be applied and the solar pumps be sold to farmers residing in Darazo-Ganjuwa Federal Constituency at the cost of N250,000 per unit in place of the market value of N460,000.
Interested farmers can visit any of DAGACOM centres in Darazo, Soro, Konkiyel, Sade, Kafin Madaki and Miya to place their orders.
Established by the Reps Member in June 2024 with a seed capital of N10million, DAGACOM is driving the MMS agricultural blueprint in consonance with the Darazo-Ganjuwa Farm Mechanization Support Initiatives (DAGFAMSI)
Recall that on Thursday, Mansur Manu Soro had led a delegation that handed over a new fire fighting truck facilitated by his office, to the Government of Bauchi State for deployment in Darazo town.
