“Therefore, those who are using any portion of Land within Makurdi town, including spaces within and around offices, road and street set-backs to farm are directed to stop immediately”.
“Those who have properly fenced their plots may be excused to farm only within the fenced portion(s)”.
“The Governor warns that any person caught farming on any portion of land in the state capital, will be made to answer certain questions”, Kula concludes.
