The Central Equatoria State governor is encouraging citizens in Terekeka to use the Nile water for agriculture to improve on their livelihood.

Augustino Jadalla visited Terekeka town on Tuesday to assess the socio-economic and political situation in the county where he addressed a multitude of people.

In his speech, Jadalla encouraged the community to irrigate around the Nile in order to improve on their living standards.

The governor asked citizen there to stay away from anti-social behavior that often results into security threats citing land disputes, among others.

“Instead of sticking on land issues and things that push us back every time with no benefit. At least let’s think of how blessed we are with the Nile flowing just here through our homestead.”

He said through good use of the available Nile water for agriculture, the community of Terekeka will realize economic stability and benefit the citizen.

“If the commissioner would order every Boma and Payam to bring forth two or three bulls each for agriculture at the Nile, don’t you think we’d irrigate extra miles from here until Tombe?

Governor Jadalla believes good use of the Nile for agriculture activities is enough to feed the national capital, Juba.

“Believe me, doing such would make us feed Juba with enough vegetables and other farm produce but now we are lost on the right way of getting money.
