Nasarawa partners Indian firm to establish tractor maintenance workshop

The Nasarawa state government Tuesday sought to partner India’s leading tractor and farm implement manufacturer, Mahindra, to set up a tractor maintenance workshop in the state.

Governor Abdullahi Sule expressed the interest of the state government when he visited the company’s plant in Nagpur, India.

At a meeting with top executives of Mahindra, the governor, who expressed confidence in the company’s capabilities, said setting up a tractor maintenance facility in Nasarawa state would have tremendous benefit.

A statement by the governor’s chief press secretary Ibrahim Addra, and made available to Blueprint, said Governor Sule also sought collaboration in the area of manpower development through training and re-training of young persons in a field he described as technical and technology driven.

He said Governor Sule equally toured the tractor facility for over two hours engaging with the technical staff and heads of the various departments.

“These included all the sections involve in the production from scratch to the fully assembled tractor.”
