LAGOS SEPTEMBER 15TH (URHOBOTODAY)-When Nigerians, mostly the people of Delta State are crying of hunger and high cost of food stuff due to lack agricultural produce, already harvested food stuff which include plantain, yams, fish and other kind of agricultural edible are wasting away in Delta State farm.
The reason being that farmers are unable to transport the harvested food stuff to the city due to bad roads and lack of storage facility.

A critical example is that of a lady simply identified as Adaeze Ogbuenyi who spoke to Urhoboroday about farm produce in their wasting away because there are no access road to transport them to consumers.
She urged Delta State government to intervene by creating access roads to farms linking Aballa Uno, Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta state, to prevent further food wastage in this difficult economic period Nigeria.
She revealed that there are several kind of harvested food stuff in their farms but there are no means to transport the product to the end consumers in the town because of bad roads.

According to her, “There are farm produce wasting in my home town, Aballa Uno in Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta state while thousands of people are going hungry in Nigeria. These farm produce cannot get to the people due to bad roads. This town is a major producer of cassava, yams and plantain and fish among others.
“I want to use this medium to appeal to the NDDC, Delta state government and the Federal government to come to the rescue. The contract for this road has been awarded to Interbau company years back but nothing has been done.”
