The Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo disclosed this in an interview with journalists, recently, in Gombe.
Dankwambo, who said the establishment of the commodity market was to ease the suffering and exploitation of farmers by middlemen, further explained that "The commodity market when established will be a market we go to, and farmers will get maximum benefit from their investment."
He condemned the non guarantee of prices because the market was not centralized and added that prices can only be guaranteed when the market was centralized.
The Governor however, stated that Government was making effort to establish the market that would stabilize the commodity while pointing out that, Gombe State government was looking for co-partners and assured that in the next few months, "We will start building and we will start marketing."
In a separate development, the Gombe State Government is to set up a pension committee to look into the issues affecting pension matters in the State.
The Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo made this disclosure in a chat with newsmen in Gombe.
