Gov. David Umahi made the declaration on Thursday in Abakaliki during at agricultural summit organised for civil and public servants in the state.
According to him, emphasis would be placed on rice production as civil and public servants would join other strata of the society in cultivating at least one hectare of rice farm yearly.
“The state is fast losing its rating as the highest rice producing state in the country, but the government is determined to halt the slide.
“The government is planning to introduce six mega-rice cities in the state and any Local Government Area (LGA) that covers 5, 000 hectares of land for rice production would benefit from the interventions.
