          Sir,

RE: REQUEST FOR FARMLAND

                   As a follow up to the letter submitted in your office on the 19^th of September 2011, with reference number, ONEFU/019-RFL/03/CE-BEN. We the executives of the Ovia North-East Local Government Area farmers’ multi-purpose co-operative union Limited, (the apex co-operative group) representing all farmers/co-operative societies in Ovia North East local government area. Requested for a piece of land measuring about One square Mile, from your ministry which we hope will serve as Tuangya Farming System for this Union to help support the drive for repositioning agriculture in the state, as embark upon by the State Governor, the people’s governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

As this is expected to help the management of this union achieve their aims of  bringing all farmers together as Organized Co-operative Farmers (OCF). Where every farmer’s co-operative societies (FCS) will have a stake. We believe this will help us to congregate the farmers for better produce.

            To achieve this aim therefore, we request from your office sir, to please allot available forest area in any part of the Ovia North-East Local Government Area to this Union, for the said purpose.

We will be most grateful if our request is looked into with your complimentary judgment. Remember sir that ….. “NO FARMERS’ NO FOOD” Support Ovia North-East Local Government Area Farmers Multi-purpose co-operative Union Today, so that we in turn can support others.

Thanks.

For Ovia North-East Local Government Area Farmers Multi-purpose co-operative Union Limited.
