UMUAHIA — The Abia State Government has approved the establishment of six modern greenhouses across the state’s three senatorial zones as part of Governor Alex Otti’s efforts to boost year-round food production, strengthen food security and modernise agriculture.

Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting chaired by Governor Otti.

He said the council approved the construction of two greenhouses in each of the three senatorial districts to facilitate the cultivation of vegetables under controlled climatic conditions throughout the year.
