Speaking on behalf of the Kava farmers at Gwariagalu, Central Kwara’ae Dudley Ramo acknowledged the visiting saying; “This is the first time for me to hear about DBSI and its services that provide the opportunity for farmers like as to seek assistance.”
Mr. Ramo told Bovoro that the farmers really appreciate the visit which offered the farmers opportunity to hear and learn about DBSI and the process involved if they want to borrow money from the bank.

“Yes, I am happy to see the ways rural farmers have raised their kava at the village,” Bovoro said.
