    Foundation to train 500 youths on Agri-business

    GIZ-Skills Development for Youth Employment, SKYE, in partnership with a non-governmental agricultural and developmental organization, FarmAgric, will train 500 young Nigerians on modern agriculture practice in Abuja.

    A press statement by GIZ-SKYE disclosed that the program will feature training on the basics of modern agricultural practices, agri-business and farmer corporative methods.

    The statement quoted the Executive Director of FarmAgric Foundation for Agriculture, Veronica Valentine as saying that, “the project which is tagged ASAP {Agricultural Skill Acquisition Program} was borne out of the need to sustain agriculture by efficiently equipping the next generation of farmers with all the necessary tools to thrive in our fast evolving society”.

    The ED further noted that outstanding trainees would be given some financial support.

    “The objectives of the ASAP are to efficiently train young people on contemporary agricultural techniques, create awareness on standardized farming practices and make financial aid available to outstanding trainees,” Ms Valentine added.

    “The positive ripple effect this would have on youth engagement, youth empowerment and the economy will be far reaching. This is an opportunity that every young person with interests in agriculture should not miss”.
