His Royal Highness, Idris Chiroma, the Emir of Gassol, Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba, has advised his people to adopt farming as a means of economic empowerment.

Chiroma gave the advice on Saturday in his Sallah massage to the people of Gassol.

The royal father noted that agriculture was the main sector that was still open to all as a source of economic empowerment and urged the people to put in their best efforts in tilling the vast arable land in the area.

According to him, the land is available, and there are also friendly laws guiding agricultural practices in the state.

He, therefore, advised the youths to shun all social vices and extremism and key into the agricultural transformation vision of Gov. Agbu Kefas of Taraba.

Chiroma also advised residents to ensure peaceful coexistence and imbibe the spirit of tolerance and unity during and after the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

The traditional ruler emphasised that Islam was a religion of peace, and so the Almighty God would punish all those perpetrating evil using His name. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
