Senator Katung however thanked the federal government for the release of N1.6bn to ginger farmers who suffered last year’s ginger disease, pointing out that though it was not what was hoped for, but it is still tremendous support, even as he assured of his office’s readiness to work with the state government to ensure that everyone who deserves this support gets it in the end.
