Adamawa state governor Muhammadu Bindow launched the emergency programme to control migratory pests on Tuesday by aerial spray.

The programme was decided after agriculture commissioners met with federal government in the wake of threat of an invasion of quela birds and other pests from neighbouring Niger Republic.
