NYSC, ARMTI, NCAM Empower Corpers on agricultural practices

The Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim stated this during seperate signings of Memorandum of Understanding with the Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI) and National Centre for Agricultural Mechanisation (NCAM) at their offices in Ilorin.

The Director-General said the partnership kicked off with the two agencies was aimed at boosting the Scheme’s agricultural programme and support Corps Members that were interested in agro-ventures.

He added that Corps Members were being encouraged to identify their talents and develop them with passion.

Ibrahim said the synergy with ARMTI would offer professional training in modern agricultural practices for both Corps Members and NYSC Staff.

He also said the input from ARMTI would boost the morale of other NYSC partners and attract from them more assistance for the Corps Members.
