Four hundred young individuals have been given training in poultry production and livestock management through the Seyi Tinubu Operation Back to Agriculture Initiative (SOBAI). This initiative aims to foster agricultural entrepreneurship, job creation, and food security. Organized by Greaterworks Ventures Nigeria Ltd., in partnership with the Nigerian Association of Agricultural Students (NAAS) of the University of Abuja, the Poultry Farmers Forum North Central Nigeria, the program sought to provide participants with hands-on agricultural skills and technical know-how.
The organizers emphasized that the program would empower young Nigerians to start their own businesses, generate income, and become self-sufficient in the face of unemployment and the need for enhanced food production. Beneficiaries will receive broiler chicks, poultry feeds, and essential veterinary drugs as starter inputs to enable them to begin poultry production.
This practical support is designed to help trainees convert their acquired skills into profitable business activities, rather than leaving them with mere theoretical knowledge. The initiative is a tribute to Seyi Tinubu's Operation Back to Agriculture campaign, which encourages youth involvement in agriculture and economic empowerment via farming.
The organizers praised their partners, facilitators, and participants for their contributions and reaffirmed their dedication to cultivating a new generation of agricultural entrepreneurs.
