By Ugochukwu Alaribe UMUAHIA — Aba South Local Government Area of Abia State has established commercial poultry and piggery farms as part of efforts to boost its internally generated revenue (IGR), create jobs and equip residents with skills in animal husbandry.
Anyanwu said his administration was exploring sustainable revenue sources to strengthen the council’s capacity to deliver services rather than depend entirely on external funding.
He explained that the farms would also serve as training centres where residents would acquire practical skills in animal farming, enabling them to establish their own businesses and employ others. He said: “We don’t believe in all these 10kg of rice empowerment. What we want in Aba South is giving our people that level of empowerment that will make them self-sustaining and employ others. So, we’ll teach the techniques needed to succeed in the business.
