He noted that the newspaper is well-prepared to produce newsletters and other publications that will inform and educate the people of Kogi State about KOSCEPA’s initiatives and their benefits.
At the end of the meeting, both parties agreed to work closely to enhance public awareness through effective media coverage and publicity. This partnership aims to ensure that information about KOSCEPA’s contributions reaches every part of the state, benefiting farmers, traders, and the general public.
