Industrial and Agricultural Growth.

The government provided farmers with essential equipment, including tractors, tillers, motor pumps, and motorcycles. 

Access to quality seeds and inputs led to significant increases in crop production, particularly in tomatoes, millet, and rice.

Judges replaced French-style black robes with traditional faso dan fani fabric, reinforcing national heritage and supporting local industries.

Infrastructure and Transportation.
