The state governor , Prof . Ben Ayade, disclosed this when officials from the Dantata group and the CBN visited him .

The governor said , “ The meeting between CBN and Dantata group and indeed Cross River State is to cement a factor and create opportunity first for livestock, cattle and poultry .

“ I have made an offer of job opportunities to 20 , 000 young people with immediate effect but you are actually going to be your own employer .

“ We will provide the money ; we have signed an agreement with CBN , they will provide us money to support 20 ,000 young farmers.”

The young farmers, he said , would be deployed to cotton production , livestock, maize and soya beans farming , rice farming , cocoa processing , groundnut cultivation among others .

Ayade said the state and Dantata group would set up an abbatoir in Obudu cattle ranch ‘ aimed at growing cattle , production of beef and exporting it within the West African sub region’.
