The prime minister urged agricultural extension workers to emulate her and also get out of their offices to disseminate the messages and to ensure uptake of activities by farmers.
“All extension officers should encourage farmers to undertake products of high value. Farmers should use calculation and treat farming as a business,” Nabbanja said during the Agricultural expo in Kagadi.
