This latest initiative, held at the IITA headquarters in Ibadan, follows similar empowerment programs conducted in Abuja, Kano, and Ogun States. Around 70 selected beneficiaries received a broad range of agricultural support tools, including solar-powered irrigation systems, improved cassava stems, rotary slashers, defeathering machines, fertilizers, high-yield maize seeds, gari fryers, vegetable seeds, fish and poultry feeds, seedling trays, coco peat, knapsack sprayers, power generators, and gari pressers.
Speaking at the event, Professor Michael Abberton, Head of IITA’s Genetic Resources Center and representative of the senior management, congratulated the recipients. He encouraged them to fully utilise the resources provided and build on the support system offered through the project.
“Young people are central to our agribusiness vision. This support is a stepping stone for expanding your ventures and creating employment opportunities,” Abberton stated, noting the initiative’s reach across critical value chains such as poultry, cassava, horticulture, and aquaculture.
Aline Mugisho, CEO of IITA Youth Agripreneurs, represented by business expert Idowu Osun, reaffirmed the institute’s dedication to sustained mentorship. “Agribusiness is a viable venture. Our team is here to guide and connect you through training and networks,” she said.
Project Coordinator, Adebayo Awotodunbo, expressed gratitude to the Kingdom of the Netherlands for funding the project and emphasized accountability in the usage of the distributed items. He warned that any beneficiary found reselling the materials would be dropped from the program.
One of the beneficiaries, Ayomikun Oyesiji, lauded the training and input support, stating that her agribusiness had seen significant progress since joining the program.
