Governor Malam Umar Namadi today joined several dignitaries, including the ministers of Agriculture and Foreign Affairs, to inaugurate the first Green Legacy Rural Communities Agriculture Infrastructure Network (G.R.A.I.N.) Pulse Centre at Kangire, Birnin Kudu Local Government Area of Jigawa State.
The facility, built by the Federal Government, is a solar-powered, digitally connected hub designed to support the agricultural value chain. It will provide essential services such as agricultural inputs, extension services, storage, value addition, market linkages, renewable energy, communication, and e-learning for rural farmers.
Speaking at the event, Governor Namadi described the Pulse Centre as “an extremely brilliant innovation with huge potential to bring about total transformations in providing sustainable means of livelihoods for rural communities.”
He added that the Pulse Project aligns with his administration’s Greater Jigawa Development Agenda, which focuses on power and energy, youth economic empowerment, agricultural transformation, technology, innovation, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
