Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state and Gassol in Taraba state.
Others are Kumbotso in Kano state, Bunza, Kebbi state, Kokona, in Nasarawa
state and Shiroro, Niger state, as well as Ikeja, Lagos state, Aguata in Anambra
state, Oshimili-South in Delta and Jama’are, Bauchi state. The field-test is to verify the efficacy of
