Corporate Farmers International has unveiled three initiatives —Agricultural e-learning Academy, Eko School Agric and Farm Support Service, to uplift agriculture in the country and close major gaps within the sector.
He added that the academy is also a complete hub for Lagos and Kebbi states’ several agricultural programmes, trainings across specific value chain, which Nigerians in diaspora will find useful to learn more about. Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture, Abisola Olusanya, represented by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr. Hakeem Adeniji, described the partnership as strategic, as Lagos is the most populous in Nigeria.
The Kebbi State Lagos Liaison Officer, Mr. Tukur Mohammed, who said Kebbi has committed large resources under the administration of Governor Atiku Bagudu to boosting agro-production in the area of rice and tomato, said the state is ready to partner the firm.
