Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government has expanded the capacity of its poultry farm to accommodate additional 1,000 point of lay birds.

Presenting the birds at the Local Government Secretariat, Hon. Sheriff Musa maintained that the agricultural sector should be developed, in order to contribute to the economy growth of the council area.

Hon. Musa pointed out that his administration would continue to support the Agriculture and Natural Resources Department of the Council, to boost food security and increase its Internally Generated Revenue.
