FG launches another empowerment scheme for graduate, youth farmers

THE Federal Government has flagged off its 8th graduate farmers and youth empowerment scheme as part of the efforts to increase food production and ultimately improving the standard of living of the citizenry.

This new phase of the programme was launched in Illah/Ebu community of Delta State, where the Illah/Ebu Centre Pivot Irrigation system (CIPS) was recently commissioned by the Minister of Water Resources, Engr.  Suleiman Adamu.

The initiative of the government was to support the youth  and farmers through the provision of irrigation infrastructure as well as enabling environment for job and wealth creation in the country.
Adamu, speaking at the ceremony said beneficiaries would be trained in dairy farming, animal husbandry, food processing and other sustainable agricultural activities.
He said the beneficiaries would subsequently be empowered through other Government intervention programmes to establish their own agricultural ventures and also as trainers in their own right, thereby creating a multiplier effect to further sustain the objectives of the programme.
“This will have attendant positive impact on the economy through improved food production and employment generation,” he said.
Managing Director of Benin – Owena River Basin Development Authority (BORBDA), Engineer Saliu Ahmed, said that the Illah/Ebu Irrigation Project was one of the priority projects of BORBDA, with a capacity of over 3,000 hectares of irrigable land out of which 550 hectares had so far been made available by the Illah and Ebu communities.
The twin communities are noted for the production of rice, water melon and cucumber.
Engineer Ahmed noted that irrigation had the potentials of increasing agricultural productivity manifolds through the opportunity of all year round cropping of the nation’s arable land.
The chairman of Delta Flood Plains Irrigation Farmers Association, Mr Raymos Guanah, lauded the Federal Government’s initiative of empowering the youths of the communities.
The representive of the graduate farmers, Mr.Charles Udoka, appealed to the Federal government to create an industrial market to enable them sell their perishable farm products after harvest.
The Graduate/Farmers Scheme of the Federal Government has so far been inaugurated in Kampe in Kogi State, Abeokuta in Ogun State, Talata Mafara in Zamfara State, Kadawa in Kano State, Ogoja in Cross River State, Agbala in Imo State, and Doma in Nasarawa State

lagos commence training for unemployed youth

Lagos Commences Training For Unemployed Youth

The Lagos State Government has commenced the training of unemployed youths in the State under its Employability Skills and Job Opportunities programme.
Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Mr. Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti, who disclosed this recently while receiving members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Lagos State Chapter on a courtesy visit to the Ministry, said 305 youth applied for the training programme but only 85 were able to scale the screening test.
He stated that the Ministry, in collaboration with West African Vocational Education (W.A.V.E), has since began the training of those that qualified on Employability Skills and Job Opportunities, adding that the programme is scheduled to run for a period of three weeks.
According to him, “The training will equip participants with soft skills and connect them with entry level jobs within the hospitality and retail industries, noting that plans are also ongoing with an Information Technology firm to train additional 250 youths, across the five divisions of the State for a period of three months in the next quarter”.
While pointing out that everyone has equal opportunity to access the various empowerment programme initiated by the present administration through the Ministry, Durosinmi-Etti emphasized that the selection process is based on the performance and creativity of each individual in the screening test.
He called on the youth to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the programme by coming up with noble ideas coupled with good character, stressing that these are part of the qualities required by applicants to qualify for the various training programmes of the Ministry.
He reiterated that previous attempts to empower youth in the state failed because the programmes were not inclusive, noting the present administration has developed a formidable plan based on equitable and pragmatic ways of creating wealth and employment for all.
The Commissioner emphasized that the government cannot provide jobs for all citizens but is ready to provide an enabling environment as the engine of growth on which the private sector, small and medium scale industries can thrive which will invariably create more job opportunities for the populace.
Earlier in his remarks, the leader of the youth team, Ambassador Olayinka Oresile said the executive members of the Youth Council of Nigeria, Lagos Chapter representing the interest of the Youths in the state came on a fact finding mission to know more about the entrepreneurship programme the Ministry has initiated and how the youth can benefit from them.
