The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) in partnership with the
Society of Youths in Agriculture (SYA) is set to reawaken youths' interest and
agriculture and allied business.
NDE Director General, Malam Abubakar Mohammed said the directorate is
ready to collaborate with SYA through the empowerment of youths by providing
skills and tools to start agricultural business.
Commenting on the gesture of the directorate, SYA President, Bakere
Oladimeji affirmed that the objective of the society is to pave way for an
avenue for change in the social order while contributing significantly towards
building the nation.
Oladimeji said there is a serious disconnection between youths in Nigeria
and agriculture business.
NaijaAgroNet gathered that NDE
DG adopted SYA as a development partner that the two bodies would collaborate
in rural and integrated farming.
Malam Mohammed advised members of SYA to boost their advocacy and
sensitization, and also partner their immediate communities.
